Android how to get tomorrow's date

Question

In my android application. I need to display tomorrow's date, for example today is 5th March so I need to display as 6 March. I know the code for getting today's date, month and year.

date calculating

    GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();     yearat = gc.get(Calendar.YEAR);     yearstr = Integer.toString(yearat);     monthat = gc.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;     monthstr = Integer.toString(monthat);     dayat = gc.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);     daystr = Integer.toString(dayat); 

If I have the code

dayat = gc.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + 1; 

will it display tomorrow's date. or just add one to today's date? For example, if today is January 31. With the above code, will it display like 1 or 32? If it displays 32, what change I need to make?

Answer 1

1. Get today's date as a Calendar.

2. Add 1 day to it.

3. Format for display purposes.

For example,

GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(); gc.add(Calendar.DATE, 1); // now do something with the calendar 

Answer 2

Use the following code to display tomorrow date

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); Date today = calendar.getTime();  calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1); Date tomorrow = calendar.getTime(); 

Use SimpleDateFormat to format the Date as a String:

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");  String todayAsString = dateFormat.format(today); String tomorrowAsString = dateFormat.format(tomorrow);  System.out.println(todayAsString); System.out.println(tomorrowAsString); 

Prints:

05-Mar-2014 06-Mar-2014
