Java Get Last Date of Current Year

Tags: Java Date DateUtil

In this Java tutorial, we learn how to write Java program to get the last day of current year and return it as a Date object in Java programming language.

How to get last day of current year in Java

In this first step, we create a new Java class named DateUtil, and implement a new static method named getLastDateOfCurrentYear() which return the last day of current year as a Date object with the time value set to the end of the day.

DateUtil.java

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

public class DateUtil {

    /**
     * This method to get the last day of current year and return as a Date object
     * @return the last Date of current year object
     */
    public static Date getLastDateOfCurrentYear() {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));
        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
        calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.MINUTE));
        calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.SECOND));
        calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.MILLISECOND));

        return calendar.getTime();
    }

}

In the following example Java code, we learn how to write Java program to use the DateUtil class above to get the last Date of the current year value.

GetLastDateOfCurrentYearExample.java

import java.util.Date;

public class GetLastDateOfCurrentYearExample {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        // Get Last Date of Current Year
        Date lastDateOfYear = DateUtil.getLastDateOfCurrentYear();

        System.out.println("Today: " + new Date());
        System.out.println("Last Date of current year: " + lastDateOfYear);
    }
}
The output as below.
Today: Wed Aug 17 21:17:17 ICT 2022
Last Date of current year: Sat Dec 31 23:59:59 ICT 2022

Happy Coding 😊
