Java 8 – Convert LocalDate to Date ?
Below Java 8 examples shows how to convert from LocalDate to Date and vice versa.
1. LocalDate to Date Example
package com.sneppets.solution;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.util.Date;
public class LocalDateToDateExample {
public static void main (String[] args) {
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();
System.out.println("LocalDate now() : " + localDate);
//convert to date from localdate first
Date date = Date.from(localDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
System.out.println("Date : " + date);
}
}
Output
LocalDate now() : 2019-11-15 Date : Fri Nov 15 00:00:00 IST 2019
2. Date to LocalDate Example
First convert Date object to Instant instance. Then you need to convert instant instance to LocalDateTime object using default system’s timezone. Finally, use toLocalDate() method of LocalDateTime class to get LocalDate object.
package com.sneppets.solution;
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.util.Date;
public class DateToLocalDateExample {
public static void main (String[] args) {
//today date
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println("Today's Date : " + date);
//convert Date object to Instant
Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochMilli(date.getTime());
//convert Instant to LocalDateTime object
LocalDateTime localDateTime = LocalDateTime.ofInstant(instant, ZoneId.systemDefault());
LocalDate localDate = localDateTime.toLocalDate();
System.out.println("LocalDate: " + localDate);
}
}
Output
Today's Date : Fri Nov 15 19:37:03 IST 2019 LocalDate: 2019-11-15
