In this tutorial, I will share a Java program to get yesterday’s date with an output. Copy the below and execute it with the help of Java compiler and see the output.
In this program, I have used pre-define classes:
1) java.util.Calendar
2) java.text.DateFormat and
3) java.text.SimpleDateFormat
At the end of this tutorial, I shared the output of this Java program. It will print the date in “dd MMM yyyy” format.

import java.util.Calendar; import java.text.DateFormat; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; class ExGetYesterdayDate { public static void main(String args[]) { String yesterdayDate=null; Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -1); //Set the format date DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy"); //formatted date yesterdayDate=dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()); System.out.println("Yesterday's date = "+ yesterdayDate); } } |
Yesterday’s date = 12 January 2016
