How to subtract n days from current date in java? [duplicate]

by

You don’t have to use Calendar. You can just play with timestamps : 

Date d = initDate();//intialize your date to any date 
Date dateBefore = new Date(d.getTime() - n * 24 * 3600 * 1000 l ); //Subtract n days

UPDATE
DO NOT FORGET TO ADD “l” for long by the end of 1000.

Please consider the below WARNING:

Adding 1000*60*60*24 milliseconds to a java date will once in a great while add zero days or two days to the original date in the circumstances of leap seconds, daylight savings time and the like. If you need to be 100% certain only one day is added, this solution is not the one to use.
