Formatting day in dd format in Java

The dd format in Java Date is like 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, etc. i.e. with two-letter digit. Let us use it.

// displaying day in dd format
SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd");
String strDay = simpleformat.format(new Date());
System.out.println("Day in dd format = "+strDay);

Above, we have used the SimpleDateFormat class, therefore the following package is imported −

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

The following is an example −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.text.Format;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      // displaying current date and time
      Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
      SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z");
      System.out.println("Today's date and time = "+simpleformat.format(cal.getTime()));
      // displaying date
      simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMMM/yyyy");
      String str = simpleformat.format(new Date());
      System.out.println("Current Date = "+str);
      // displaying day in dd format
      simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd");
      String strDay = simpleformat.format(new Date());
      System.out.println("Day in dd format = "+strDay);
      // current time
      simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH.mm.ss Z");
      String strTime = simpleformat.format(new Date());
      System.out.println("Current Time = "+strTime);
   }
}

Output

Today's date and time = Mon, 08 Nov 2018 09:47:41 +0000
Current Date = 08/November/2018
Day in dd format = 08
Current Time = 09.47.41 +0000
