How to get Day, Month and Year from Date in Java

Given a date in the form of a string, the task is to write a Java Program to get the day, month, and year from the given date.

Examples:

Input: date = “2020-07-18”
Output:
Day: 18
Month: July
Year: 2020
Explanation: The given date is ‘2020-07-18’, so the day is: 18, the month is: July, and the year is: 2020.

Input: date = “2018-05-10”
Output:
Day: 10
Month: May
Year: 2018
Explanation: The given date is ‘2018-05-10’, so the day is: 10, the month is: May, and the year is: 2018.

Method 1: Using LocalDate class in Java:



  • The idea is to use methods of LocalDate class to get the day, month, and year from the date.
  • The getDayOfMonth() method returns the day represented by the given date, getMonth() method returns the month represented by the given date, and getYear() method returns the year represented by the given date.

// Java program for the above approach
import java.util.Date;
import java.time.Month;
import java.time.LocalDate;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Function to get day, month, and
    // year from date
    public static void
    getDayMonthYear(String date)
    {
  
        // Get an instance of LocalTime
        // from date
        LocalDate currentDate
            = LocalDate.parse(date);
  
        // Get day from date
        int day = currentDate.getDayOfMonth();
  
        // Get month from date
        Month month = currentDate.getMonth();
  
        // Get year from date
        int year = currentDate.getYear();
  
        // Print the day, month, and year
        System.out.println("Day: " + day);
        System.out.println("Month: " + month);
        System.out.println("Year: " + year);
    }
  
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Given Date
        String date = "2020-07-18";
  
        // Function Call
        getDayMonthYear(date);
    }
}

Output:


Day: 18
Month: JULY
Year: 2020





Method 2: Using Calendar class in Java:


    

  • The idea is to use get() method of Calendar class to get the day, month, and year from the date.
    • 

  • The get() method takes one parameter of integer type and returns the value of the passed field from the given date.
    • 

  • It returns the month index instead of the month name.
    •

Method 3: Using String.split() in Java:


    

  1. The idea is to use the split() method of String class.
    2. 

  2. It splits a string according to the pattern provided and returns an array of string.

// Java program for the above approach 


class GFG { 


  


    // Function to get day, month, and 


    // year from date 


    public static void findDate(String date) 


    { 


        // Spiliting the given date by '-' 


        String dateParts[] = date.split("-"); 


  


        // Getting day, month, and year 


        // from date 


        String day = dateParts[0]; 


        String month = dateParts[1]; 


        String year = dateParts[2]; 


  


        // Printing the day, month, and year 


        System.out.println("Day: " + day); 


        System.out.println("Month: " + month); 


        System.out.println("Year: " + year);
