Getting current date and time with Date

java.util.Date represents a specific instant in time, with millisecond precision.

Getting current date and time with Date

The example uses java.util.Date to get the current date time and formats it with java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class JavaCurrentDateTimeDate {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Date now = new Date();

        DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
        System.out.println(df.format(now));
    }
}

Output:

2019/07/11 17:30:13
