How to create a Java Date object of midnight today and midnight tomorrow?

by

java.util.Calendar

// today    
Calendar date = new GregorianCalendar();
// reset hour, minutes, seconds and millis
date.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
date.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
date.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
date.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

// next day
date.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);

JDK 8 – java.time.LocalTime and java.time.LocalDate

LocalTime midnight = LocalTime.MIDNIGHT;
LocalDate today = LocalDate.now(ZoneId.of("Europe/Berlin"));
LocalDateTime todayMidnight = LocalDateTime.of(today, midnight);
LocalDateTime tomorrowMidnight = todayMidnight.plusDays(1);

Joda-Time

If you’re using a JDK < 8, I recommend Joda Time, because the API is really nice:

DateTime date = new DateTime().toDateMidnight().toDateTime();
DateTime tomorrow = date.plusDays(1);

Since version 2.3 of Joda Time DateMidnight is deprecated, so use this:

DateTime today = new DateTime().withTimeAtStartOfDay();
DateTime tomorrow = today.plusDays(1).withTimeAtStartOfDay();

Pass a time zone if you don’t want the JVM’s current default time zone.

DateTimeZone timeZone = DateTimeZone.forID("America/Montreal");
DateTime today = new DateTime(timeZone).withTimeAtStartOfDay(); // Pass time zone to constructor.
