java时间加7天,如何从Java的当前日期开始提前7天

I am using

DateFormat dateFormat =

new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");

Date date = new Date();

String fromdate = dateFormat.format(date);

to get the current date, how can I get the date 7 days back. for example, if today is 7th June 2013 how can I get 31th May 2013 i the same format as defined in date formater.

Got the solution.. Thanks everyone :)

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");

Date date = new Date();

String todate = dateFormat.format(date);

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -7);

Date todate1 = cal.getTime();

String fromdate = dateFormat.format(todate1);

解决方案

You can use Calendar class :

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance()

cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -7);

System.out.println("Date = "+ cal.getTime());

But as @Sean Patrick Floyd mentioned , Joda-time is the best Java library for Date.
