What is the simplest way to convert a JodaTime LocalDate to java.util.Date object?
250
Convert LocalDate To Date in Java Step 1: First Create the LocalDate object using either now() or of() method. now() method gets the current date where as of() creates the LocalDate object with the given year, month and day. Step 2: Next, Get the timezone from operating system using ZoneId. systemDefault() method.
So the short answer to your question is: YES (deprecated).
LocalDate is the date the calendar on the wall says. java. util. Date is not a date, it's an instant, and actually represents a millisecond offset from Unix epoch.
To convert JodaTime's org.joda.time.LocalDate to java.util.Date, do
Date date = localDate.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay().toDate();
To convert JodaTime's org.joda.time.LocalDateTime to java.util.Date, do
Date date = localDateTime.toDate();
To convert Java8's java.time.LocalDate to java.util.Date, do
Date date = Date.from(localDate.atStartOfDay().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
To convert Java8's java.time.LocalDateTime to java.util.Date, do
Date date = Date.from(localDateTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
You might be tempted to shorten it with LocalDateTime#toInstant(ZoneOffset), but there isn't a direct API to obtain the system default zone offset.
To convert Java8's java.time.ZonedDateTime to java.util.Date, do
Date date = Date.from(zonedDateTime.toInstant());
Since 2.0 version LocalDate has a toDate() method
Date date = localDate.toDate();
If using version 1.5 - 2.0 use:
Date date = localDate.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay().toDate();
On older versions you are left with:
Date date = localDate.toDateMidnight().toDate();
