How to get Date object in “YYYY-MM-DD” format in android

Question

I have a requirement that I need to compare two Dates. One Date will come from DB which is String in \"YYYY-DD-MM\" firm and I need to compare this String Date with current Date

Answer 1

If your current date is actually an instance of the java.util.Date class, you don't need to specify a format for it; it's just a millisecond value that represents a specific moment in time.

You can get the current date like so:

Date currentDate = new Date();
