Add seconds to current date using Calendar.add() method in Java

Import the following package for Calendar class in Java.

import java.util.Calendar;

Firstly, create a Calendar object and display the current date and time.

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current Date and Time = " + calendar.getTime());

Now, let us increment the seconds using the calendar.add() method and Calendar.SECOND constant.

calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 15);

Example

import java.util.Calendar;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
      System.out.println("Current Date = " + calendar.getTime());
      // Add 15 seconds to current date
      calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 15);
      System.out.println("Updated Date = " + calendar.getTime());
   }
}

Output

Current Date = Thu Nov 22 18:06:55 UTC 2018
