Hey, I think it is quiet simple. You just need to make use of the Calender Class in java. If you use the Calender class in java then you will able to get the following methods for your use. So, just make use of it and get your program for the Current Date in java:

• Calendar.MONTH: If you make use of this in your program then you will able to get the month of the year value which will be in integer format.
  
• Calendar.DAY: If you make use of this in your program then you will able to get the day of the month value which will be in integer format.
  
• Calendar.YEAR: If you make use of this in your program then you will able to get the current year value which will be in integer format.

Hello, If you simply make use of the code below in your program then you will able to get the solution for your problem.

Calendar calender = new GregorianCalendar(); 
int E = calender.get(Calendar.ERA);
int Y = calender.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int M = calender.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int D = calender.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int DW = calender.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);

If you want to get the current Date in java then I have the following program for your use. Which will provide you current date in java.

import java.util.*;
public class CurrDate
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
{
    Calendar calender = new GregorianCalendar();
    int Month = calender.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int Year = calender.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int Day = calender.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    System.out.println("Current Date In Java : " + Day + "/" + (Month + 1) + "/" + Year);
  }
}

You can make use of the DateUtils.now("Format")) in your program for getting different format of the date in your program. In place of the format you can simply make use of the following formats:

• dd MMMMM yyyy
• yyyyMMdd
• dd.MM.yy
• MM/dd/yy
• yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss z
• EEE, MMM d, ''yy
• h:mm a
• H:mm: ss : SSS
• K:mm a,z
• yyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa

Hey, you can use the code below which will provide you formatted date and time in java. So, just make use of it and get your problem solved:

import java.util.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar; 
public class currDateTime
 {
  public static void main(String[] args)
 { 
	   DateFormat dFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
	   Date D = new Date();
	   System.out.println(dFormat.format(D));
 	   Calendar calender = Calendar.getInstance();
	   System.out.println(dFormat.format(calender.getTime()));
  }
}
