//package com.book2s;

import java.util.Calendar;

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        String str = "2019-11-10";
        String separator = "-";
        System.out.println(str2calendar(str, separator));
    }/*from ww  w.  j av  a 2s  .  c om*/

    public static Calendar str2calendar(String str, String separator) {

        Calendar result = Calendar.getInstance();
        result.set(year, month - 1, day);
        return result;
    }

    public static boolean isEmpty(CharSequence s) {
        return s == null || s.length() == 0;
