How do I compare two dates?

In this example you’ll see the utilization of SimpleDateFormat class for comparing two dates for equality. We convert the date object into string using the DateFormat instance and then compare it using String.equals() method.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

public class ComparingDate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a SimpleDateFormat instance with dd/MM/yyyy format
        DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");

        // Get the current date
        Date today = new Date();

        // Create an instance of calendar that represents a new year date
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, 1);
        calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.JANUARY);
        calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2021);

        String newYear = df.format(calendar.getTime());
        String now = df.format(today);

        // Using the string equals method we can compare the date.
        if (now.equals(newYear)) {
            System.out.println("Happy New Year!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Have a nice day!");
        }
    }
}

How do I convert milliseconds value to date?

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

public class MillisecondsToDate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a DateFormatter object for displaying date information.
        DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSS");

        // Get date and time information in milliseconds
        long now = System.currentTimeMillis();

        // Create a calendar object that will convert the date and time value
        // in milliseconds to date. We use the setTimeInMillis() method of the
        // Calendar object.
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTimeInMillis(now);

        System.out.println(now + " = " + formatter.format(calendar.getTime()));
    }
}

The output of the code snippet above is:

1632868662762 = 29/09/2021 06:37:42.762

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TimeZoneExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a calendar object and set it time based on the local
        // time zone
        Calendar localTime = Calendar.getInstance();
        localTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, 17);
        localTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 15);
        localTime.set(Calendar.SECOND, 20);

        int hour = localTime.get(Calendar.HOUR);
        int minute = localTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
        int second = localTime.get(Calendar.SECOND);

        // Print the local time
        System.out.printf("Local time  : %02d:%02d:%02d\n", hour, minute, second);

        // Create a calendar object for representing a Germany time zone. Then we
        // wet the time of the calendar with the value of the local time
        Calendar germanyTime = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Germany"));
        germanyTime.setTimeInMillis(localTime.getTimeInMillis());
        hour = germanyTime.get(Calendar.HOUR);
        minute = germanyTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
        second = germanyTime.get(Calendar.SECOND);

        // Print the local time in Germany time zone
        System.out.printf("Germany time: %02d:%02d:%02dn", hour, minute, second);
    }

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.text.DateFormatSymbols;
import java.util.Calendar;

public class LastDayOfMonth {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Get a calendar instance
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

        // Get the last date of the current month. To get the last date for a
        // specific month you can set the calendar month using calendar object
        // calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, theMonth) method.
        int lastDate = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);

        // Set the calendar date to the last date of the month so then we can
        // get the last day of the month
        calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, lastDate);
        int lastDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);

        // Print the current date and the last date of the month
        System.out.println("Last Date: " + calendar.getTime());

        // The lastDay will be in a value from 1 to 7 where 1 = Sunday and 7 =
        // Saturday. The first day of the week is based on the locale.
        System.out.println("Last Day : " + lastDay);

        // Get weekday name
        DateFormatSymbols dfs = new DateFormatSymbols();
        System.out.println("Last Day : " + dfs.getWeekdays()[lastDay]);
    }
}

Here is the output of the code snippet above:

Last Date: Thu Sep 30 06:44:05 CST 2021
Last Day : 5
Last Day : Thursday

You want to know what is the last date for a current month. The code below show you how to get it.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.Calendar;

public class LastDateOfMonth {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Get a calendar instance
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

        // Get the last date of the current month. To get the last date for 
        // a specific month you can set the calendar month using calendar 
        // object calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, theMonth) method.
        int lastDate = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);

        // Print the current date and the last date of the month
        System.out.println("Date     : " + calendar.getTime());
        System.out.println("Last Date: " + lastDate);
    }
}

Here is the result of the code snippet:

Date     : Fri Sep 24 06:42:18 CST 2021
