Java How to add day to current date

In this post, I will show you How to add day to current date, using following APIs.

1. Calendar

public class DateExample {

    private static final DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Date currentDate = new Date();
        System.out.println(dateFormat.format(currentDate));

        // convert date to calendar
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        c.setTime(currentDate);

        // manipulate date
        c.add(Calendar.YEAR, 1);
        c.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1);
        c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1); //same with c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
        c.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
        c.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 1);
        c.add(Calendar.SECOND, 1);

        // convert calendar to date
        Date currentDatePlusOne = c.getTime();

        System.out.println(dateFormat.format(currentDatePlusOne));

    }

}

2. Java 8 and later

public class LocalDateTimeExample {

    private static final String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss";
    private static final DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
    private static final DateTimeFormatter dateFormat8 = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(DATE_FORMAT);

    public static void main(String[] args) {

  // Get current date
        Date currentDate = new Date();
        System.out.println("date : " + dateFormat.format(currentDate));

        // convert date to localdatetime
        LocalDateTime localDateTime = currentDate.toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDateTime();
        System.out.println("localDateTime : " + dateFormat8.format(localDateTime));

        // plus one
        localDateTime = localDateTime.plusYears(1).plusMonths(1).plusDays(1);
        localDateTime = localDateTime.plusHours(1).plusMinutes(2).minusMinutes(1).plusSeconds(1);

        // convert LocalDateTime to date
        Date currentDatePlusOneDay = Date.from(localDateTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());

        System.out.println("\nResult : " + dateFormat.format(currentDatePlusOneDay));

    }

}

Result :

date : 2017/01/09 16:14:57
localDateTime : 2017/01/09 16:14:57


Result : 2018/02/10 17:15:58

Good luck!
