Depends on what you mean by "increase by a day". If you mean "increase by exactly 24 hours", then:

new Date(date.getTime() + 24*60*60*1000);

If you want to correct for the fact that not all days are 24 hours (daylight savings switchover days, for example), see the other answers.

This is terribly difficult and that's why we should use Calendar for that. Otherwise you'll have to handle the different month lengths and leap years. The Calendar implementation can do that already.

That's a job for the Calendar class.

Basically

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(myDate);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
myDaye = cal.getTime();

If you're serious about Date/Time manipulation, check out Joda-Time
