To get yesterday's date, you need to subtract one day from today's date. Use GETDATE() to get today's date (the type is datetime ) and cast it to date . In SQL Server, you can subtract or add any number of days using the DATEADD() function. The DATEADD() function takes three arguments: datepart , number , and date .

Getting Yesterday's date First, we need to access the today's date using new Date() constructor then we need to subtract it with 1 . In the above code, we used the setDate() method on today and passed today's date minus 1 as arguments to get yesterday's date.


Update

There has been recent improvements in datetime API with JSR-310.

Instant now = Instant.now();
Instant yesterday = now.minus(1, ChronoUnit.DAYS);
System.out.println(now);
System.out.println(yesterday);

Outdated answer

You are subtracting the wrong number:

Use Calendar instead:

private Date yesterday() {
    final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
    return cal.getTime();
}

Then, modify your method to the following:

private String getYesterdayDateString() {
        DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
        return dateFormat.format(yesterday());
}

See

  • IDEOne Demo

You can do following:

private Date getMeYesterday(){
     return new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()-24*60*60*1000);
}

Note: if you want further backward date multiply number of day with 24*60*60*1000 for example:

private Date getPreviousWeekDate(){
     return new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()-7*24*60*60*1000);
}

Similarly, you can get future date by adding the value to System.currentTimeMillis(), for example:

private Date getMeTomorrow(){
     return new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()+24*60*60*1000);
}

   Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
   DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
   System.out.println("Today's date is "+dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));

   cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
   System.out.println("Yesterday's date was "+dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));  

Use Calender Api


Try this one:

private String toDate() {
    DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");

    // Create a calendar object with today date. Calendar is in java.util pakage.
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

    // Move calendar to yesterday
    calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);

    // Get current date of calendar which point to the yesterday now
    Date yesterday = calendar.getTime();

    return dateFormat.format(yesterday).toString();
}

Try this;

   public String toDate() {
       DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
       Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
       cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
       return dateFormat.format(cal.getTime());
  }

There is no direct function to get yesterday's date.

To get yesterday's date, you need to use Calendar by subtracting -1.
