I am developing an android application in which i want to parser the date, time and string that is what Natty (Date Parser) do is exactly needed for me. I have tried in eclipse IDE. I have manually added the following jar files.
antlr-2.7.7.jar
antlr-runtime-3.2.jar
backport-util-concurrent-3.1.jar
commons-codec-1.5.jar
commons-lang-2.6.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
ical4j-1.0.2.jar
stringtemplate-3.2.jar
And i have followed the instructions given in Natty website. That is in POM file,i have added the dependency as
<dependency>;
<groupId>com.joestelmach</groupId>
<artifactId>natty</artifactId>
<version>0.11</version>
</dependency>
and added the following in main java file.
import com.joestelmach.natty.*;
Parser parser = new Parser();
List groups = parser.parse("the day before next thursday");
for(DateGroup group:groups) {
List dates = group.getDates();
int line = group.getLine();
int column = group.getPosition();
String matchingValue = group.getText();
String syntaxTree = group.getSyntaxTree().toStringTree();
Map parseMap = group.getParseLocations();
boolean isRecurreing = group.isRecurring();
Date recursUntil = group.getRecursUntil();
}
I have imported three libraries.
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
Now i am getting an error in this line.
for(DateGroup group:groups)
Error: Type mismatch: cannot convert from element type Object to DateGroup.
Please suggest me some solutions for this.
I have added the Parser class under onCreateOptionsMenu function.
Or please suggest me some other solutions for me to parse the date,time and string from a sentence. For example, consider the following sentence "Lets go for lunch on July 17th 2016 at 1 pm", from this i need to extract Date:17th July 2016, time 1 pm and string : Lets go for lunch.
