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

Since Java 1.5 TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(1) looks more clean to me.

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd" );
Date day = dateFormat.parse(string);
// add the day
Date dayAfter = new Date(day.getTime() + TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(1));
