Changing Java Date one hour back

Question

I have a Java date object   Date currentDate   new Date      This will give the current date and time  Example   Thu Jan 12 10 17 47 GMT 2012   Instead  I want to get the date  changing it to one hour back so it should give me   Thu Jan 12 09 17 47 GMT 2012   What would be the best way to do it

Use Calendar   Calendar cal   Calendar getInstance     cal setTime new Date     cal set Calendar HOUR  cal get Calendar HOUR  - 1

Get the time in milliseconds  minus your minutes in milliseconds and convert it to Date  Here you need to objectify one         int minutes   60      long currentDateTime   System currentTimeMillis        Date currentDate   new Date currentDateTime - minutes 60 1000       System out println currentDate

To subtract hours  you need to use the HOUR OF DAY constant  Within that  include the number with the negative sign  This would be the hours you want to reduce  All this is done under the Calendar add   method  The following is an example  import java util Calendar  public class Example     public static void main String   args       Calendar c   Calendar getInstance         System out println  quot Date    quot    c getTime               2 hours subtracted    c add Calendar HOUR OF DAY  -2      System out println  quot After subtracting 2 hrs    quot    c getTime           Here is the output  Date   Sun Dec 16 16 28 53 UTC 2018 After subtracting 2 hrs   Sun Dec 16 14 28 53 UTC 2018

It worked for me instead using format  To work with time just use parse and toString   methods  String localTime  6 11   LocalTime localTime   LocalTime parse localtime   LocalTime lt   6 11  localTime   lt toString
