Question

Answer 1

You can do it in following way

// pick current system date

    Date dt = new Date();

// set format for date

   SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

 // parse it like

        String check = dateFormat.format(dt);


        System.out.println("DATE TO FROM DATEBASE   " + 
                arrayOfStringDate[d].toString());
        System.out.println("CURRENT DATE   " + check);

// and compare like

System.out.println("compare    "+ 
        arrayOfStringDate[d].toString().equals(check));
