I have initialized Date date = new Date(); but now I get application has stopped working and error is still in the same line!!!

try
{
Date date = new Date();
String getdate = spinner.getItemAtPosition(position).toString() + value
+ textView2.getText().toString();
date = sdf.parse(getdate);
} catch (ParseException ex)
{
// handle parsing exception if date string was different from the pattern applying into the SimpleDateFormat contructor
}
// isDateValid function call
isValid = isDateValid(date.getMonth(), date.getDay(), date.getYear());

Which is not the one being passed to isDateValid().

So,what should I do?

Maybe look at (or around) line 12.

You mean this "private Date date;" ?

Correct.

I added date = new Date(); to button onclicklistener but when I click button inside app it gets pressed and stays like that and nothing happens!!!

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
String dayOfWeek;
boolean isValid;

            **date = new Date();**

            Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd\_HHmmss");
            String strDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());

You really need to make more effort to do some debugging of your code first. You have a problem which could be caused by any part of your code, so you need to do the troubleshooting to collect more information. Also you have a try/catch block in your code that reads:

        try
            {
                String getdate = spinner.getItemAtPosition(position).toString() + value
                        + textView2.getText().toString();
                Date date = sdf.parse(getdate);
            }
            catch (ParseException ex)
            {

            }

Do not do this, you are just hiding any problems that may occur. Put some proper code in the catch block to help you find errors.

Can you not see that you have two Date objects (in separate scopes)?

Why check your own code when you can get it done for free at CodeProject? ;P
