TemporalAdjusters next() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 27 Mar, 2020

The next(DayOfWeek) method of a TemporalAdjusters class is used to return a next day-of-week TemporalAdjuster object which can be used to get a new Date object which is the next date with the same matching DayOfWeek as passed as a parameter from any Date object on which this TempotralAdjuster is applied.

Syntax:

public static TemporalAdjuster next(DayOfWeek dayOfWeek)

Parameters: This method accepts dayOfWeek which can be used to get a new Date object which is the next date with the same matching DayOfWeek.

Return value: This method returns the next day of the week adjuster, not null.

Below programs illustrate the TemporalAdjusters.next() method:
Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// TemporalAdjusters.next() 
  
import java.time.*; 
import java.time.temporal.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // get TemporalAdjuster with 
        // the next in month adjuster 
        TemporalAdjuster temporalAdjuster 
            = TemporalAdjusters.next( 
                DayOfWeek.WEDNESDAY); 
  
        // using adjuster for local date time 
        LocalDate localDate 
            = LocalDate.of(1998, 10, 31); 
        LocalDate nextDOW 
            = localDate.with(temporalAdjuster); 
  
        // print 
        System.out.println( 
            "next day of the week having"
            + " WEDNESDAY for localdate "
            + localDate + " is: "
            + nextDOW); 
    } 
} 

Output:

next day of the week having WEDNESDAY for localdate 1998-10-31 is: 1998-11-04

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// TemporalAdjusters.next() method 
  
import java.time.*; 
import java.time.temporal.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // get TemporalAdjuster with the 
        // next day of week adjuster 
        TemporalAdjuster temporalAdjuster 
            = TemporalAdjusters.next( 
                DayOfWeek.THURSDAY); 
  
        // using adjuster for local date time 
        LocalDate localDate 
            = LocalDate.of(2029, 12, 11); 
        LocalDate nextDOW 
            = localDate.with(temporalAdjuster); 
  
        // print 
        System.out.println( 
            "next day of the week having"
            + " THURSDAY for localdate "
            + localDate + " is: "
            + nextDOW); 
    } 
} 

Output:

next day of the week having THURSDAY for localdate 2029-12-11 is: 2029-12-13
