I have a String date coming in form of dd.MM.yyyy. I want to compare if its a future date (today+1 day)
I am trying to convert the string into date and getting current date from SimpleDateFormat
but when trying to convert the string date I am getting the output in "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy" format.
String profileUpdateChangeDate = "31.01.2023"
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date changeDate = sdf.parse(profileUpdateChangeDate);
_log.info("changeDate===>>>"+changeDate);
Date date = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
String str = formatter.format(date);
_log.info("Currentdate-===>"+str);
How can I check if profileUpdateChangeDate
is a future date?
You can compare the parsed date "changeDate" with the current date. If the "changeDate" is after the current date, then it is a future date.
String profileUpdateChangeDate = "31.01.2023";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date changeDate = sdf.parse(profileUpdateChangeDate);
Date currentDate = new Date();
if (changeDate.after(currentDate)) {
System.out.println("profileUpdateChangeDate is a future date");
} else {
System.out.println("profileUpdateChangeDate is not a future date");
}
