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

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));
}

// Create one day 00:00:00 calendar
int oneDayTimeStamp = 1523017440;
Calendar oneDayCal = Calendar.getInstance();
oneDayCal.setTimeInMillis(oneDayTimeStamp * 1000L);
oneDayCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
oneDayCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
oneDayCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
oneDayCal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

// Create current day 00:00:00 calendar
Calendar currentCal = Calendar.getInstance();
currentCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
currentCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
currentCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
currentCal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

if (oneDayCal.compareTo(currentCal) == 0) {
    // Same day (excluding time)
}

Apache commons-lang几乎无处不在。那么这个呢?

if (DateUtils.isSameDay(date1, date2)) {
    // it's same
} else if (date1.before(date2)) {
   // it's before
} else {
   // it's after
}

已经提到了apache common -utils:

org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils.truncate(date, Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)

给你Date对象，只包含日期，没有时间，你可以与Date. compareto进行比较

我更倾向于直接使用Joda库而不是java.util.Date，因为Joda区分了日期和时间(参见YearMonthDay和DateTime类)。

然而，如果你确实希望使用java.util.Date，我建议写一个实用方法;如。

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

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

    return calendar.getTime();
}
