I don't know whether you can use the apache commons library, if so then please refer to: org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateUtils.round(Date date, int field) :

http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.1/org/apache/commons/lang3/time/DateUtils.html#round(java.util.Date , int)

The first parameter is a java.util.Date that you can create with a help of java.text.SimpleDateFormat , and the second parameter is a constant from a Calendar class like Calendar.HOUR .

If you can't employ the apache commons library check how they do it: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.1/src-html/org/apache/commons/lang3/time/DateUtils.html#line.645 .
