title: Android Date: finding future date
body: <p>I am looking and have been looking for a good example or tutorial on calculating/finding a future date by adding a set number of days.</p>
  
  <p>I have a date picker that opens when user clicks on EditText so they can select the date, then I'm wanting to add lets say 56 days to that date. then show a Toast or Dialog that displays the future date from the date set. Then after i learn and figure that out I'm going to have my app show a notification on that date.</p>
  
  <p>not sure if i should be using calendar or alarm,, oh and this data is being stored in a SQLite DB. like always hope i have given enough info to give you an idea of what I'm trying to do.</p>
  
  <p>any help, pointers or suggestions will be awesome, as i am still learning both java and android</p>
