How to compute calendar date?

Question

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();

If I want to know the date after 3 days from "cal", is there a way to compute that? Thanks. Can the add(int field, int amount) method do that?

Before asking it is always a good idea to search the site (or the whole internet) and also read the official documentation, otherwise you might find your question gets downvoted. — Matt Coubrough, Jul 09 '14 at 00:39

If I understand your question, then yes. Using Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 3);

Indeed, you can get the date from a Calendar object:

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar()
Date d;
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 3);
d = cal.getTime();
