How can I increment this date by one day?

Answer 1

If you are using Java 8, java.time.LocalDate and java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter can make this work quite simple.

public String nextDate(String date){
      LocalDate parsedDate = LocalDate.parse(date);
      LocalDate addedDate = parsedDate.plusDays(1);
      DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-mm-dd");
      return addedDate.format(formatter); 
}
