HijrahDate now(Clock) method in Java with Example

Last Updated : 27 Feb, 2020
The now() method of java.time.chrono.HijrahDate class is used to get the current hijrah date according to the hijrah calendar system from the specified clock. Syntax: 
public static HijrahDate now(Clock clock)
Parameter: This method takes the object of the clock on the basis of which Hijrah date is going to be formed. Return Value: This method returns the current Hijrah date according to the Hijrah calendar system from the specified clock. Below are the examples to illustrate the now() method: Example 1: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate now() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // Creating and initializing clock
            Clock clock = Clock.systemUTC();

            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.now(clock);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}
Output: 
HijrahDate: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-25
Example 2: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// now() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing clock
            Clock clock
                = Clock.systemDefaultZone();

            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.now(clock);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}
Output: 
HijrahDate: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-25
