Getting 18 years before date from calender

Question

I need to get complete date(dd/mm/yyyy) which is 18 years from now. i used code as Calendar calc = Calendar.getInstance(); calc.add(Calendar.YEAR, -18); which retrives 18 years

Answer 1

I would recommend using Joda Time, as it will make date manipulation and math very easy. For example:

DateTime futureDate = new DateTime();
futureDate.minusYears(18).minusDays(1);
futureDate.toDate(); // return a regular Date object
