Hi,
I have a GUI which has a departure date field (text), departure time
field (text), and once the user enters information about these, I have
to add the estimated time of journey to the departure date-time to
calculate arrival date-time.
Can someone help me, please?
Use the Calendar class.

Can you give me a short example to start with? for date-arithmatic I
mean.

// Inputs:
Date depart = ...;
int journeyHours = ...;
int journeyMonutes = ...;

// Computation:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(depart);
cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, journeyHours * 60 + journeyMinutes);
// Optional adjustment:
if (destination == Airport.CHICAGO_OHARE)
cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 2 * 60 + 30); // congestion

// Output:
Date arrive = cal.getTime();
