How to extract day, month and year from Date using Java? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Don't use Date as it is deprecated. Use LocalDate and DateTimeFormatter as follows.

LocalDate ld  = LocalDate.parse("2020/05/06", 
              DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd"));
int year = ld.getYear();
int month = ld.getMonthValue();
int day = ld.getDayOfMonth();
System.out.println(month + " " + day + " " + year);

Prints

5 6 2020

Check out the other date/time related classes in the java.time package.

Answer 2

It's much better to use the new api as answered by WJS but if for some reason you want to use the old api you should use Calendar

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
formatter.parse("2020/11/06");
Calendar calendar = formatter.getCalendar();

int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1; // add 1 because it returns 0-11
int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

System.out.println(day);
System.out.println(month);
System.out.println(year);
