Java – How To Get Current Date Time – Date() And Calender()

Sample Code:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
String dst = dateFormat.format(date);
Date utilDate = dateFormat.parse(dst);
long timeDate = utilDate.getTime();
java.sql.Timestamp timeStampDate = new Timestamp(timeDate);
System.out.println(timeStampDate);


1. Date() + SimpleDateFormat()

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));


2. Calender() + SimpleDateFormat()

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));

Full example

Here is the full source code to show you the use of Date() and Calender() class to get and display the current date time.

import java.util.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;


public class GetCurrentDateTime {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

       DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
       //get current date time with Date()
       Date date = new Date();
       System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));

       //get current date time with Calendar()
       Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
       System.out.println(dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));

  }
}
