How to get the fiscal year end date (2017-09-30) dynamically. Based on the year I need to get the fiscal year end date dynamically.
For example:
If 2017 then output should be 2017-09-30 If 2018 then output should be 2018-09-30 and so on.
Code:
Calendar.getInstance().getActualMaximum(Calendar.SEPTEMBER);
Output I am getting as "4"
Can I know how to get the end date dynamically.
This will help you
private static String getDate(int month, int year) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
// passing month-1 because 0-->jan, 1-->feb... 11-->dec
calendar.set(year, month - 1, 1);
calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE));
Date date = calendar.getTime();
DateFormat DATE_FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
return DATE_FORMAT.format(date);
}
The term “fiscal year” is not defined here. Usually that is a company-specific definition, and may not be as simple as “end of September”.
If you are asking for the same month and same day-of-month but adjusted by year, use the java.time classes. The troublesome Calendar class is now legacy, and should be avoided.
LocalDate & MonthDayThe LocalDate class represents a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone.
The MonthDay class represents a month and day-of-month without any year and without any time zone.
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.of( 2017 , Month.SEPTEMBER , 30 );
MonthDay md = MonthDay.from( ld );
LocalDate ldInAnotherYear = md.atYear( ld.getYear() + 1 );
You could also simply add a year depending on the date in question and what your desired behavior is for handling the last days of a month since months have different lengths, and of course February has the issue of Leap Year.
LocalDate yearLater = LocalDate.of( 2017 , Month.SEPTEMBER , 30 ).plusYears( 1 );
YearMonthYou might find the YearMonth class handy. You can ask it for the last day of the month.
YearMonth ym = YearMonth( 2017 , Month.SEPTEMBER );
LocalDate endOfMonth = ym.atEndOfMonth();
I recommend using objects rather than mere integers. Consider passing around objects such as YearMonth, MonthDay, LocalDate, and Month where appropriate rather than numbers.
The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.
The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.
To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.
Where to obtain the java.time classes?
The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.
