Hi,

I have a requirement to get the previous day for a given date. Please find the code below. It is giving previous day of the current date but i need the previous day of the given date.

Kindly help in this,

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
         GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
         try{
         gc.setGregorianChange(sdfInput.parse("22-JAN-2007"));
         }catch(ParseException e){
             System.out.println(e.getMessage());
         }
         gc.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);
         Date d = gc.getTime();
    
         System.out.println(sdf.format(d));

Expected output : 21-JAN-2007
Resultant output : current date - 1 i.e suppose today is 22nd April 2007, then it is giving 21-Apr-2007.

Regards
Bala

Hi Balla,
I try the following piece of code:
------------------------------------

           GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
           gc.setGregorianChange(new Date("22-Jan-2007"));
           Date d = new Date();
           d.setTime((gc.getGregorianChange()).getTime()-86400000);
           System.out.println(d);

------------------------------------

The number 86400000 in code above is 24 hours in milliseconds.

Best,
Anna
