If you want midnight  0 00am  for the current date  you can just use the default constructor and zero out the time portions   Date today   new Date    today setHours 0   today setMinutes 0   today setSeconds 0     edit  update with Calendar since those methods are deprecated  Calendar today   Calendar getInstance    today clear Calendar HOUR   today clear Calendar MINUTE   today clear Calendar SECOND   Date todayDate   today getTime

Is there are more correct way    Yes  there is   LocalDate now       ZoneId of   America Montreal       atStartOfDay      ZoneId of   America Montreal        java time  Java 8 and later now has the new java time framework built-in  See Tutorial  Inspired by Joda-Time  defined by JSR 310  and extended by the ThreeTen-Extra project   Examples  Some examples follow  using java time  Note how they specify a time zone  If omitted  your JVM   s current default time zone  That default can vary  even changing at any moment during runtime  so I suggest you specify a time zone explicitly rather than rely implicitly on the default   Here is an example of date-only  without time-of-day nor time zone   ZoneId zonedId   ZoneId of   America Montreal     LocalDate today   LocalDate now  zonedId    System out println   today       today         today   2015-10-19   Here is an example of getting current date-time   ZoneId zonedId   ZoneId of   America Montreal     ZonedDateTime zdt   ZonedDateTime now  zonedId    System out println   zdt       zdt      When run      zdt   2015-10-19T18 07 02 910-04 00 America Montreal    First Moment Of The Day  The Question asks for the date-time where the time is set to zero  This assumes the first moment of the day is always the time 00 00 00 0 but that is not always the case  Daylight Saving Time  DST  and perhaps other anomalies mean the day may begin at a different time such as 01 00 0    Fortunately  java time has a facility to determine the first moment of a day appropriate to a particular time zone  LocalDate  atStartOfDay  Let s see some code using the LocalDate named today and the ZoneId named zoneId from code above   ZonedDateTime todayStart   today atStartOfDay  zoneId         zdt   2015-10-19T00 00 00-04 00 America Montreal    Interoperability  If you must have a java util Date for use with classes not yet updated to work with the java time types  convert  Call the java util Date from  Instant instant   method   java util Date date   java util Date from  zdt toInstant          About java time  The java time framework is built into Java 8 and later  These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java util Date  Calendar   amp  SimpleDateFormat   The Joda-Time project  now in maintenance mode  advises migration to the java time classes   To learn more  see the Oracle Tutorial  And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations  Specification is JSR 310   You may exchange java time objects directly with your database  Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4 2 or later  No need for strings  no need for java sql   classes   Where to obtain the java time classes     Java SE 8  Java SE 9  Java SE 10  Java SE 11  and later  - Part of the standard Java API with a bundled implementation    Java 9 adds some minor features and fixes   Java SE 6 and Java SE 7   Most of the java time functionality is back-ported to Java 6  amp  7 in ThreeTen-Backport   Android   Later versions of Android bundle implementations of the java time classes  For earlier Android   lt 26   the ThreeTenABP project adapts ThreeTen-Backport  mentioned above   See How to use ThreeTenABP        The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java time with additional classes  This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java time  You may find some useful classes here such as Interval  YearWeek  YearQuarter  and more
