Joda-Time Create DateTime with Time End of the Day in Java

Tags: Joda Time Joda DateTime

In this Joda-Time tutorial, we learn how to create a new DateTime object or convert an existing DateTime object to a new DateTime object with the time set to end of the day at 23:59:59.999 in Java.

Add Joda Time library to your Java project

To use Joda Time Java library in the Gradle build project, add the following dependency into the build.gradle file.

compile group: 'joda-time', name: 'joda-time', version: '2.10.9'

To use Joda Time Java library in the Maven build project, add the following dependency into the pom.xml file.

<dependency>
    <groupId>joda-time</groupId>
    <artifactId>joda-time</artifactId>
    <version>2.10.9</version>
</dependency>

To download the Joda Time .jar file you can visit Joda Time releases page at github.com/JodaOrg/joda-time

Using withTime() method to create a new copy of DateTime with time end of day

DateTimeEndOfDayExample1.java 

import org.joda.time.DateTime;

public class DateTimeEndOfDayExample1 {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        DateTime now = DateTime.now();

        DateTime endOfDayDateTime = now.withTime(23, 59, 59, 999);

        System.out.println("Now: " + now);
        System.out.println("End Of Day: " + endOfDayDateTime);
    }
}
The output is: 
Now: 2021-01-19T22:19:44.177+07:00
End Of Day: 2021-01-19T23:59:59.999+07:00

Using withTimeAtStartOfDay().plusDays(1).minusMillis(1) method chains

DateTimeEndOfDayExample2.java 

import org.joda.time.DateTime;

public class DateTimeEndOfDayExample2 {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        DateTime now = DateTime.now();

        DateTime endOfDayDateTime = now.withTimeAtStartOfDay().plusDays(1).minusMillis(1);

        System.out.println("Now: " + now);
        System.out.println("End Of Day: " + endOfDayDateTime);
    }
}
The output is: 
Now: 2021-01-19T22:20:10.081+07:00
End Of Day: 2021-01-19T23:59:59.999+07:00
