Convert Date Object to LocalDate Object in Java

To convert a Date object to LocalDate object in Java −

• Convert the obtained date object to an Instant object using the toInstant() method.

Instant instant = date.toInstant();

• Create the ZonedDateTime object using the atZone() method of the Instant class.

ZonedDateTime zone = instant.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());

• Finally, convert the ZonedDateTime object to the LocalDate object using the toLocalDate() method.

LocalDate givenDate = zone.toLocalDate();

Example

Following example accepts a name and Date of birth from the user in String formats and converts it to LocalDate object and prints it.

 Live Demo

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class DateToLocalDate {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws ParseException {
      //Reading name and date of birth from the user
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Enter your name: ");
      String name = sc.next();
      System.out.println("Enter your date of birth (dd-MM-yyyy): ");
      String dob = sc.next();
      //Converting String to Date
      SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
      Date date = formatter.parse(dob);
      //Converting obtained Date object to LocalDate object
      Instant instant = date.toInstant();
      ZonedDateTime zone = instant.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
      LocalDate localDate = zone.toLocalDate();
      System.out.println("Local format of the given date of birth String: "+localDate);
   }
}

Output

Enter your name:
Krishna
Enter your date of birth (dd-MM-yyyy):
26-09-1989
Local format of the given date of birth String: 1989-09-26
