How to add minutes to my Date

Question

I have this date object:

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(\"yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm\");
Date d1 = df.parse(interviewList.get(37).getTime());

Answer 1

Can be done without the constants (like 3600000 ms is 1h)

public static Date addMinutesToDate(Date date, int minutes) {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTime(date);
        calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, minutes);
        return calendar.getTime();
    }

public static Date addHoursToDate(Date date, int hours) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTime(date);
    calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hours);
    return calendar.getTime();
}

example of usage:

System.out.println(new Date());
System.out.println(addMinutesToDate(new Date(), 5));
