Get Date and Time

In the example given below we will see, how to display current date and time in the user given format. To do all this we have first created instance of the calendar class that returns object of the same class whose time fields have been initialized with the current date and time. getTime() method returns current time of date type.


import java.util.Calendar;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;



public class DateAndTime {

  public static final String date = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";



  public static String now() {

  Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

  SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(date);

  return dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime());

}

  public static void  main(String arg[]) {

  System.out.println("Date and Time : " + DateAndTime.now());

  }

}
