Get Date of the next midnight...

Question

Hello people,
I would like to get a java.util.Date object of the next Midnight to use the java.util.Timer class to schedule an event once per day at midnight.
Any Ideas????

Answer 1

Use the java.util.Calendar (or GregorianCalendar) class instead. Then do something like this
Calendar cal = new Calendar();
cal.setTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()+24*60*60*1000)); // one day added
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTES, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.SECONDS, 0);
// the time set to midnightNow you can call cal.getTime() if you want the Date object representing the first coming midnigt. Subsequent midnights can be found by adding 24*60*60*1000 ms to the time.
