Incrementing a java.util.Date by one day

Question

What is the correct way to increment a java.util.Date by one day.

I\'m thinking something like

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        ca         


        

Answer 1

Here's how I do it:

Date someDate = new Date(); // Or whatever    
Date dayAfter = new Date(someDate.getTime()+(24*60*60*1000));

Where the math at the end converts a day's worth of seconds to milliseconds.
