You can try something like this,

String dt = "2012-01-04";  // Start date SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); try {     c.setTime(sdf.parse(dt)); } catch (ParseException e) {     e.printStackTrace(); } c.add(Calendar.DATE, 40);  // number of days to add, can also use Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH in place of Calendar.DATE SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy"); String output = sdf1.format(c.getTime());
