How to get current date and time Java 8?


In this page we have given examples on how to get current date and time using Java 8 new date and time API.

We are using LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime and ZonedDateTime classes to get the current time.

CurrentDateTimeEx
package com.java2novice.datetime;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.LocalTime;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;

public class CurrentDateTimeEx {

	public static void main(String a[]) {

		// get current date without time
		LocalDate ldObj = LocalDate.now();
		System.out.println("Current date without time: "+ldObj);

		// get current time without date
		LocalTime ltObj = LocalTime.now();
		System.out.println("Current time without date: "+ltObj);

		// get current date and time together without timezone information
		LocalDateTime ldtObj = LocalDateTime.now();
		System.out.println("Current date & time without zone: "+ldtObj);

		// get current date and time together along with timezone information
		ZonedDateTime zdtObj = ZonedDateTime.now();
		System.out.println("Current date & time with zone: "+zdtObj);
	}
}

Output:
Current date without time: 2015-12-16
Current time without date: 08:30:05.519
Current date & time without zone: 2015-12-16T08:30:05.519
Current date & time with zone: 2015-12-16T08:30:05.519+05:30[Asia/Kolkata]

Interface and its usage
Interface is similar to a class which may contain method's signature only but not bodies and it is a formal set of method and constant declarations that must be defined by the class that implements it. Interfaces are useful for declaring methods that one or more classes are expected to implement, capturing similarities between unrelated classes without forcing a class relationship and determining an object's programming interface without revealing the actual body of the class.
Famous Quotations
Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
