Java for Android: Any Way To Display Dates in Tabs?

by Thomas

Hi Warriors,

I have 6 tabs in a horizontally-scrolling tab bar. Everything seems to work fine in terms of function (displaying webviews in each), but I'm at a loss when it comes to labelling them.

As shown in my main Activity below, I currently have them labelled Day 2, Day 3, etc. However, I need to turn those labels into auto-updating dates.

For example, if this was being done online using PHP, I would use something like this:
PHP Code:
<?php echo "".date("l (d M.)", strtotime("+6 day")). '';?>
to automatically insert a date corresponding to 7 days from when the tab is loaded/viewed. However, being a Java newbie, I have no idea how to do anything similar in Java (or if it can be done at all).

Can anyone advise?

Regards,
Tommy.

Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.ads.*;

public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {

        private TabHost mTabHost;

            @Override
            public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.main);

                mTabHost = getTabHost();
                TabHost.TabSpec spec;
                Intent Intent;

                // Day 1
                Intent = new Intent(this, Day0.class);        
                spec = mTabHost.newTabSpec("Day 0")
                        .setIndicator("   Today   ")
                        .setContent(Intent);        
                mTabHost.addTab(spec);

                // Day 2
                Intent = new Intent(this, Day1.class);        
                spec = mTabHost.newTabSpec("Day 1")
                        .setIndicator("   Tomorrow   ")
                        .setContent(Intent);        
                mTabHost.addTab(spec);

                // Day 3
                Intent = new Intent(this, Day2.class);        
                spec = mTabHost.newTabSpec("Day 2")
                        .setIndicator("   Day 2   ")
                        .setContent(Intent);        
                mTabHost.addTab(spec);

                // Day 4
                Intent = new Intent(this, Day3.class);        
                spec = mTabHost.newTabSpec("Day 3")
                        .setIndicator("   Day 3   ")
                        .setContent(Intent);        
                mTabHost.addTab(spec);

                // Day 5
                Intent = new Intent(this, Day4.class);        
                spec = mTabHost.newTabSpec("Day 4")
                        .setIndicator("   Day 4   ")
                        .setContent(Intent);        
                mTabHost.addTab(spec);

                // Day 6
                Intent = new Intent(this, Day5.class);        
                spec = mTabHost.newTabSpec("Day 5")
                        .setIndicator("   Day 5   ")
                        .setContent(Intent);        
                mTabHost.addTab(spec);

                // Day 7
                Intent = new Intent(this, Day6.class);        
                spec = mTabHost.newTabSpec("Day 6")
