How can I increment a date by one day in Java?

Question

I\'m working with a date in this format: yyyy-mm-dd.

How can I increment this date by one day?

Answer 1

Java 8 added a new API for working with dates and times.

With Java 8 you can use the following lines of code:

// parse date from yyyy-mm-dd pattern
LocalDate januaryFirst = LocalDate.parse("2014-01-01");

// add one day
LocalDate januarySecond = januaryFirst.plusDays(1);
