The getInstance( ) method of Calendar returns a GregorianCalendar initialized with the current date and time in the default locale and time zone.
Constructors

Constructs a default GregorianCalendar using the current time in the default time zone with the default locale.
GregorianCalendar(int year, int month, int date)
Constructs a GregorianCalendar with the given date set in the default time zone with the default locale.

This is a useful method of GregorianCalendar.
Determines if the given year is a leap year.
void add(int field, int amount)
Adds the specified (signed) amount of time to the given time field, based on the calendar's rules.
protected void computeFields()
Converts UTC as milliseconds to time field values.
protected void computeTime()
Overrides Calendar Converts time field values to UTC as milliseconds.
boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this GregorianCalendar to an object reference.
int get(int field)
Gets the value for a given time field.
int getActualMaximum(int field)
Returns the maximum value that this field could have, given the current date.
int getActualMinimum(int field)
Returns the minimum value that this field could have, given the current date.
int getGreatestMinimum(int field)
Returns the highest minimum value for the given field if varies.
Date getGregorianChange()
Gets the Gregorian Calendar change date.
int getLeastMaximum(int field)
Returns the lowest maximum value for the given field if varies.
int getMaximum(int field)
Returns maximum value for the given field.
Date getTime()
Gets this Calendar's current time.
long getTimeInMillis()
Gets this Calendar's current time as a long.
TimeZone getTimeZone()

Example
import java.util.*;
class Caldemo
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Date"+cal.get(Calendar.DATE);
System.out.println("Month"+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH,6);
System.out.println("Month:"+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
Date d=cal.getTime();
System.out.println(d);
cal.clear(Calendar.MONTH);
System.out.println("MONTH"+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
GregorianCalendar ge=new GregorianCalendar();
System.out.println(ge.isLeapYear(2016));
}
}
