如果你真的想使用java.util。约会时，你会这样做:

public class TimeIgnoringComparator implements Comparator<Date> {
  public int compare(Date d1, Date d2) {
    if (d1.getYear() != d2.getYear()) 
        return d1.getYear() - d2.getYear();
    if (d1.getMonth() != d2.getMonth()) 
        return d1.getMonth() - d2.getMonth();
    return d1.getDate() - d2.getDate();
  }
}

或者，使用Calendar代替(首选，因为getYear()等已弃用)

public class TimeIgnoringComparator implements Comparator<Calendar> {
  public int compare(Calendar c1, Calendar c2) {
    if (c1.get(Calendar.YEAR) != c2.get(Calendar.YEAR)) 
        return c1.get(Calendar.YEAR) - c2.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    if (c1.get(Calendar.MONTH) != c2.get(Calendar.MONTH)) 
        return c1.get(Calendar.MONTH) - c2.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    return c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) - c2.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
  }
}

使用SimpleDateFormat的getDateInstance，我们只能比较两个没有时间的日期对象。执行下面的代码。

public static void main(String[] args) {        
        Date date1  = new Date();
        Date date2  = new Date();
        DateFormat dfg = SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.DATE_FIELD);
        String dateDtr1 = dfg.format(date1);
        String dateDtr2 = dfg.format(date2);
        System.out.println(dateDtr1+" : "+dateDtr2);
        System.out.println(dateDtr1.equals(dateDtr2));  

    }

这对我来说很管用:

var Date1 = new Date(dateObject1.toDateString()); //this sets time to 00:00:00
var Date2 = new Date(dateObject2.toDateString()); 
//do a normal compare
if(Date1 > Date2){ //do something }

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);

`

我也更喜欢Joda Time，但这里有一个替代方案:

long oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
long d1 = first.getTime() / oneDay
long d2 = second.getTime() / oneDay
d1 == d2

EDIT

我把UTC的东西放在下面，以防你需要比较UTC以外的特定时区的日期。如果你确实有这样的需求，那么我真的建议你去找Joda。

long oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
long hoursFromUTC = -4 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // EST with Daylight Time Savings
long d1 = (first.getTime() + hoursFromUTC) / oneDay
long d2 = (second.getTime() + hoursFromUTC) / oneDay
d1 == d2
