There's a specific object depending at the amount of time you'd like to deal with. This page here is very useful explaining which is best for your scenario.

The ChronoUnit.between method is useful when you want to measure an amount of time in a single unit of time only, such as days or seconds

LocalDate localDateStartDate = LocalDate.of(2016, 06, 10);
LocalDate localDateEndDate = LocalDate.of(2016,06,23);
long days = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(localDateStartDate, localDateEndDate);
