The org.joda.time.DateMidnight class represent a date time information with the time value set to midnight. The following snippet show you how to instantiate this class.

package org.kodejava.example.joda;

import org.joda.time.DateMidnight;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat;

import java.util.Date;

public class DateMidnightDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create DateMidnight object of the current system date.
        DateMidnight date = new DateMidnight();
        System.out.println("date = " + date);

        // Or using the now().
        date = DateMidnight.now();
        System.out.println("date = " + date);

        // Create DateMidnight object by year, month and day.
        date = new DateMidnight(2017, 1, 15);
        System.out.println("date = " + date);

        // Create DateMidnight object from milliseconds.
        date = new DateMidnight(System.currentTimeMillis());
        System.out.println("date = " + date);

        // Parse a date from string.
        date = DateMidnight.parse("2017-01-15");
        System.out.println("date = " + date);

        // Parse a date from string of specified patter.
        date = DateMidnight.parse("15/01/2017", DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd/MM/yyyy"));
        System.out.println("date = " + date);
    }
}

The result of our code snippet:

date = 2017-01-15T00:00:00.000+08:00
date = 2017-01-15T00:00:00.000+08:00
date = 2017-01-15T00:00:00.000+08:00
date = 2017-01-15T00:00:00.000+08:00
date = 2017-01-15T00:00:00.000+08:00
date = 2017-01-15T00:00:00.000+08:00
