How to get previous days date in java. i.e. current date-1

[John Bateman]

Hi
I use the Calendar class as all familiar Date Constructor/methods are deprecated.

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
rightNow.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1);
// or
rightNow.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);

This backs up the calendar one day.
The Java 2 API docs are pretty good in showing how to use this class.
Hope this helped.

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;
public class Prev
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Calendar xx = Calendar.getInstance();
Date dt = null;
xx.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);
dt = xx.getTime();
System.out.println("Yesterday Is : " + dt.getDate());
}
}
