How to get the last date of a particular month with JodaTime?

Question

I need to get the first date (as org.joda.time.LocalDate) of a month and the last one. Getting the first is trivial, but getting the last seems to need some log

Answer 1

An old question, but a top google result when I was looking for this.

If someone needs the actual last day as an int instead using JodaTime you can do this:

public static final int JANUARY = 1;

public static final int DECEMBER = 12;

public static final int FIRST_OF_THE_MONTH = 1;

public final int getLastDayOfMonth(final int month, final int year) {
    int lastDay = 0;

    if ((month >= JANUARY) && (month <= DECEMBER)) {
        LocalDate aDate = new LocalDate(year, month, FIRST_OF_THE_MONTH);

        lastDay = aDate.dayOfMonth().getMaximumValue();
    }

    return lastDay;
}
