使用Java 8和Instant的另一个解决方案是使用truncatedTo方法

返回截断为指定单位的此即时的副本。

例子:

@Test
public void dateTruncate() throws InterruptedException {
    Instant now = Instant.now();
    Thread.sleep(1000*5);
    Instant later = Instant.now();
    assertThat(now, not(equalTo(later)));
    assertThat(now.truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.DAYS), equalTo(later.truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.DAYS)));
}

`

SimpleDateFormat sdf= new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy")

   Date date1=sdf.parse("03/25/2015");



  Date currentDate= sdf.parse(sdf.format(new Date()));

   return date1.compareTo(currentDate);

`

    Date today = new Date();
    Date endDate = new Date();//this
    endDate.setTime(endDate.getTime() - ((endDate.getHours()*60*60*1000) + (endDate.getMinutes()*60*1000) + (endDate.getSeconds()*1000)));
    today.setTime(today.getTime() - ((today.getHours()*60*60*1000) + (today.getMinutes()*60*1000) + (today.getSeconds()*1000)));

    System.out.println(endDate.compareTo(today) <= 0);

我只是将小时/分/秒设置为0，所以时间没有问题，因为现在两个日期的时间都是相同的。现在只需使用compareTo。这个方法帮助找到“if dueDate is today”，其中true表示Yes。

另一个简单的比较方法是基于这里的答案和我的导师的指导

public static int compare(Date d1, Date d2) {
    Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();
    c1.setTime(d1);
    c1.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
    c1.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
    c1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    c1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    c2.setTime(d2);
    c2.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
    c2.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
    c2.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    c2.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    return c1.getTime().compareTo(c2.getTime());
  }

编辑: 根据@Jonathan Drapeau的说法，上面的代码在某些情况下会失败(我想看看这些情况)，他建议如下:

public static int compare2(Date d1, Date d2) {
    Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();
    c1.clear();
    c2.clear();
    c1.set(Calendar.YEAR, d1.getYear());
    c1.set(Calendar.MONTH, d1.getMonth());
    c1.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, d1.getDay());
    c2.set(Calendar.YEAR, d2.getYear());
    c2.set(Calendar.MONTH, d2.getMonth());
    c2.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, d2.getDay());
    return c1.getTime().compareTo(c2.getTime());
}

请注意，Date类已弃用，因为它不适合国际化。取而代之的是Calendar类!

public Date saveDateWithoutTime(Date date) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

    calendar.setTime( date );
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

    return calendar.getTime();
}

这将帮助你在不考虑时间的情况下比较日期。

如果严格使用Date (java.util.Date)，或者不使用任何外部库。用这个:

public Boolean compareDateWithoutTime(Date d1, Date d2) {
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
    return sdf.format(d1).equals(sdf.format(d2));
}
