Simple java.time.LocalDate examples

Add following imports:


import java.time.LocalDate;

import java.time.ZoneId;

import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

Following are examples for displaying date:


// Get current LocalDate
LocalDate date = LocalDate.now(); // e.g., 28 April 2025

// Format LocalDate
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MMMM yyyy");
String formattedDate = date.format(formatter); // "28 April 2025"

// Display LocalDate
textview2.setText(date.toString()); 
// Result: "2025-04-28" (ISO format)

textview3.setText(formattedDate); 
// Result: "28 April 2025"

// LocalDate of a specific time zone
ZoneId zone1 = ZoneId.of("Asia/Kolkata"); // or ZoneId.of("+05:30")
LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.now(zone1);

textview4.setText(date2.format(formatter)); 
// Result: "28 April 2025" (same date if system time zone matches, otherwise adjusted)

// LocalDate from year, month, and day of month
LocalDate date3 = LocalDate.of(2025, 4, 24);
textview5.setText(date3.format(formatter)); 
// Result: "24 April 2025"

// LocalDate from year and day of year
LocalDate date4 = LocalDate.ofYearDay(2025, 114);
textview6.setText(date4.format(formatter)); 
// Result: "24 April 2025" (114th day of 2025 is 24 April)

// LocalDate from String (ISO format)
LocalDate date5 = LocalDate.parse("2025-04-24");
textview7.setText(date5.format(formatter)); 
// Result: "24 April 2025"

// LocalDate from String (custom format)
LocalDate date6 = LocalDate.parse("25 April 2025", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MMMM yyyy"));
textview8.setText(date6.format(formatter)); 
// Result: "25 April 2025"
