The dateNow() method of java.time.chrono.IsoChronology class is used get the current local date according to Iso calendar system from the specified clock object.
Syntax:
public LocalDate dateNow(Clock clock)
Parameter: This method takes the object of clock as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the LocalDate according to Hijrah calendar system from the specified clock object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the dateNow() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// dateNow() method  import java.util.*;import java.io.*;import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] argv)    {        try {            // creating and initializing LocalDate Object            LocalDate hidate = LocalDate.now();              // getting IsoChronology used in localDate            IsoChronology crono = hidate.getChronology();              // creating and initializing clock object            Clock clock = Clock.systemUTC();              // getting LocalDate for the            // given clock object            // by using dateNow() method            LocalDate date = crono.dateNow(clock);              // display the result            System.out.println("LocalDate is: " + date);        }        catch (DateTimeException e) {            System.out.println("passed parameter can "                               + "not form a date");            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);        }    }} |
Output:
LocalDate is: 2020-03-08
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// dateNow() method  import java.util.*;import java.io.*;import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] argv)    {        try {            // creating and initializing LocalDate Object            LocalDate hidate = LocalDate.now();              // getting IsoChronology used in localDate            IsoChronology crono = hidate.getChronology();              // creating and initializing clock object            Clock clock = Clock.systemUTC();              // setting clock            clock = Clock.tick(clock,                               Duration.ofDays(100));              // getting LocalDate for the            // given clock object            // by using dateNow() method            LocalDate date = crono.dateNow(clock);              // display the result            System.out.println("LocalDate is: " + date);        }        catch (DateTimeException e) {            System.out.println("passed parameter can "                               + "not form a date");            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);        }    }} |
Output:
LocalDate is: 2020-02-08
