Question

I need to create two date objects. If the current date and time is March 9th 2012 11:30 AM then

• date object d1 should be 9th March 2012 12:00 AM
• date object d2 should contain the current date itself

The date will not be entered, it is system date.

Update:

Date dt = new Date();
System.out.print(dt.toString());

gives current date and time

Answer 1

    Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
    c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); //anything 0 - 23
    c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
    Date d1 = c.getTime(); //the midnight, that's the first second of the day.

should be Fri Mar 09 00:00:00 IST 2012
