Where can I find LocalDate class in Xamarin Android (since Date() is deprecated)

Question

Hi,
After upgrading my Xamarin project we are getting compile warnings of deprecated Date() class constructor. I want to replace it with Android LocalDate (https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/LocalDate), is that possible ?

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

LocalDate is not available in Xamarin.Android , as Android suggested ,we could use Calendar class to replace Date class .

As of JDK 1.1, the Calendar class should be used to convert between dates and time fields and the DateFormat class should be used to format and parse date strings. The corresponding methods in Date are deprecated.

Date(int year, int month, int date)
This constructor is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date) or GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date).

Date(int year, int month, int date, int hrs, int min)
This constructor is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min) or GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min).

Date(int year, int month, int date, int hrs, int min, int sec)
This constructor is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec) or GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec).

Date(String s)
This constructor is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by DateFormat.parse(String s).
