The dateNow() method of java.time.chrono.JapaneseChronology class is used get the current Japanese date according to Japanese calendar system from the system clock in the specified time zone.
Syntax:
public JapaneseDate dateNow(ZoneId zone)
Parameter: This method takes the object of zone id as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the Japanese date according to Japanese 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            // JapaneseDate Object            JapaneseDate hidate = JapaneseDate.now();              // getting JapaneseChronology            // used in JapaneseDate            JapaneseChronology crono                = hidate.getChronology();              // creating and initializing ZoneId object            ZoneId id = ZoneId.systemDefault();              // getting JapaneseDate for the            // given zoneid object            // by using dateNow() method            JapaneseDate date = crono.dateNow(id);              // display the result            System.out.println("JapaneseDate is: "                               + date);        }        catch (DateTimeException e) {            System.out.println("passed parameter can"                               + " not form a date");            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);        }    }} |
Output:
JapaneseDate is: Japanese Heisei 32-04-13
Example 2:
