Getting Previous, Current and Next Day Date

     

In this section, you will learn how to get previous, current and next date in java. The java util package provides the facility of it. 

Description of program:

The following program helps you to get the previous, current and next date to Date() constructor of java.util package. First of all you need put a current date in the GMT format. SimpleDateFormat() changes the GMT format according to user's requirements. For getting the previous date  subtract a day in MILLIS_IN_DAY and add a day for getting the next date.  

Here is the code of program:

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

public class GetPreviousAndNextDate{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  int MILLIS_IN_DAY = 1000 60 60 24;
  Date date = new Date();
  SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
  String prevDate = dateFormat.format(date.getTime() - MILLIS_IN_DAY);
  String currDate = dateFormat.format(date.getTime());
  String nextDate = dateFormat.format(date.getTime() + MILLIS_IN_DAY);
  System.out.println("Previous date: " + prevDate);
  System.out.println("Currnent date: " + currDate);
  System.out.println("Next date: " + nextDate);
  }
}
