Convert java.time.LocalDate into java.util.Date type
Disclaimer: For illustrating existing java apis only. Should not be used in production code.
You can use java.sql.Date.valueOf()
method as:
Date date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(localDate);
No need to add time and time zone info here because they are taken implicitly.
See LocalDate to java.util.Date and vice versa simplest conversion?
Here's a utility class I use to convert the newer java.time
classes to java.util.Date
objects and vice versa:
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.util.Date;
public class DateUtils {
public static Date asDate(LocalDate localDate) {
return Date.from(localDate.atStartOfDay().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
}
public static Date asDate(LocalDateTime localDateTime) {
return Date.from(localDateTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
}
public static LocalDate asLocalDate(Date date) {
return Instant.ofEpochMilli(date.getTime()).atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDate();
}
public static LocalDateTime asLocalDateTime(Date date) {
return Instant.ofEpochMilli(date.getTime()).atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDateTime();
}
}
Edited based on @Oliv comment.
Date date = Date.from(localDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
That assumes your date chooser uses the system default timezone to transform dates into strings.
