Calculating the difference between two Java date instances
45 answers
can anyone tell how to subtract string "after" from "today" to get days difference.
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String args[]){
SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
String today=sdf.format(cal.getTime());
System.out.println(today);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 20);
String After=sdf.format(cal.getTime());
System.out.println(After);
}
}
It would be easier with java8 where you dont need to subtract long values represent of date and change back to days, hours and minutes.
Date today= LocalDate.now();
Date futureDate = LocalDate.now().plusDays(1);
long days = Period.between(today, futureDate).getDays();
Period
& LocalDate
class are available in #java8
LocalDate
docs
LocalDate is an immutable date-time object that represents a date,
often viewed as year-month-day. Other date fields, such as
day-of-year, day-of-week and week-of-year, can also be accessed. For
example, the value "2nd October 2007" can be stored in a LocalDate.
If you are not using java8, use joda-time library's org.joda.time.Days
utility to calculate this
Days day = Days.daysBetween(startDate, endDate);
int days = d.getDays();
Using JodaTime, in case you don't have Java 8
String timeValue = "2014/11/11";
DateTimeFormatter parseFormat = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder().appendPattern("yyyy/MM/dd").toFormatter();
LocalDate startDate = LocalDate.parse(timeValue, parseFormat);
LocalDate endDate = startDate.plusDays(20);
System.out.println(startDate + "; " + endDate);
Period p = new Period(startDate, endDate);
System.out.println("Days = " + p.getDays());
System.out.println("Weeks = " + p.getWeeks());
System.out.println("Months = " + p.getMonths());
Which outputs...
2014-11-11; 2014-12-01
Days = 6
Weeks = 2
Months = 0
try this...
May it helps you.
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
// compute the difference between two dates.
public class DateDiff {
public static void main(String[] av) {
/** The date at the end of the last century */
Date d1 = new GregorianCalendar(2010, 10, 10, 11, 59).getTime();
/** Today's date */
Date today = new Date();
// Get msec from each, and subtract.
long diff = today.getTime() - d1.getTime();
System.out.println("The 21st century (up to " + today + ") is "
+ (diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) + " days old.");
}
}
This may help You..
SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
String today=sdf.format(cal.getTime());
System.out.println(today);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 20);
String After=sdf.format(cal.getTime());
System.out.println(After);
Date d1 = null;
Date d2 = null;
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
try {
d1 = format.parse(today);
d2 = format.parse(After);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
long diff = d2.getTime() - d1.getTime();
long diffDays = diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
System.out.println("Difference is "+diffDays+" Days");
