import java.text.*;



public class GetPreviousAndNextDate{

  public static void main(String[] args) {

  int MILLIS_IN_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

  Date date = new Date();

  SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");

  String prevDate = dateFormat.format(date.getTime() - MILLIS_IN_DAY);

  String currDate = dateFormat.format(date.getTime());

  String nextDate = dateFormat.format(date.getTime() + MILLIS_IN_DAY);
