Question

I am getting input as some date/time in hours(integer) eg: 2 hrs
I want to add this input hours to system date in yyyyMMddHHmmss format. How can i do this?

Answer 1

You could do something like this (assuming you meant format instead of parse):

int hoursToAdd = 2; //or from input
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR, hoursToAdd);
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss").format(calendar.getTime()));
