Convert java.time.LocalDate to java.util.Date
10,118
If you have a LocalDate
which you want to convert to a Date
, use
LocalDate localDate = ...; Instant instant = localDate.atStartOfDay().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant(); Date res = Date.from(instant);
You can then use a SimpleDateFormat
to format the Date
to whatever format you like.

I have java.time.LocalDate Object in yyyy-MM-dd format. I would like to know how to convert this to java.util.Date with MM-dd-yyyy format. getStartDate() method should be able to return Date type object with the format MM-dd-yyyy.
DateParser class
package com.accenture.javadojo.orgchart; import java.time.LocalDate; import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter; import java.time.format.DateTimeParseException; import java.util.Locale; public class DateParser { public static LocalDate parseDate(String strDate){ try{ if((strDate != null) && !("").equals(strDate)){ DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("M/d/yyyy").withLocale(Locale.US); LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse(strDate, formatter); return date; } } catch (DateTimeParseException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } }
public Date getStartDate() { String fmd = format.format(startDate); LocalDate localDate = DateParser.parseDate(fmd); return startDate; }
