Formatting Object Status value

[#1]

I'm using the sap.m.ObjectStatus as part of my status display on a given agregated list:

in view.js:

var curstat = new sap.m.ObjectStatus({

                                                   //text:  "{CountDate}",

                                                   //text: oController.formatDate('{CountDate}'),

                                                   state: "Success",

                                                   text: {

                                                        parts:[{path:'CountDate'}],

                                                        formatter: 'oController.formatterCountDate'

                                                   }

                                                });

snippet in the controller.js, the format of the CountDate value is, yyyy-mm-ddT00:00:00.  goal is to remove the time part leaving only YYYY-MM-DD.  I don't get any exception thrown and the date does show just not in the format I want.  I feel I'm close but just can't get figure out what I may be over looking.  Thanks in advance for the help.

formatterCountDate:function(t) {

                  try {

                  var d = new Date();

                  var T = new sap.ui.model.type.Date( {

                                                     source : {

                                                     pattern : "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"

                                                     },

                                                     pattern : "yyyy,MM,dd",

                                                     style : "medium"

                                                     });

                  d = T.formatValue(t, "string");

                  var D = new Date(d);

                  return D

                  }//try

                  catch(error) {

                    alert(error.message);

                  }

},

Hi Jay, can you try with the below code.

Also make sure your CountDate propery in OData model has Edm.DateTime datatype.

formatterCountDate : function (value) {

  if((value!=null) && (value!="0000-00-00"))

  {

  if (value) {

  var oDateFormat = sap.ui.core.format.DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance({pattern: "yyyy,MM,dd"});

  return oDateFormat.format(new Date(value));

  }

else {  return value; }

  }

  else return "";

  }

Let me know if you face any issues.

Thanks Naveenraj.  This almost worked.  But it keeps returning with the year 1969.  tried to just pass value to oDateFormat.format but it comes back with:

'null' is not an object value.getDay.

it seems like, when the date field is empty, even when I say " return ""; ", it forces it to have something and in this case, it returns 1969-12-13.  But the formatting works correctly; able to remove the time part.
