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);         }     } } |
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);         }     } } |
LocalDate is: 2020-02-08
