Set time to 00:00:00

Question

I have a problem resetting hours in Java. For a given date I want to set the hours to 00:00:00.

This is my code :

/**
     * Resets milliseconds, se

If you need format 00:00:00 in string, you should use SimpleDateFormat as below. Using "H "instead "h".

Date today = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat ft = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"); 
//not SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss")
Calendar calendarDM = Calendar.getInstance();
calendarDM.setTime(today);
calendarDM.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
calendarDM.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendarDM.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
System.out.println("Current Date: " + ft.format(calendarDM.getTime()));

//Result is: Current Date: 29-10-2018 00:00:00
