How do I get difference between two dates in android?, tried every thing and post

Question

I saw all the post in here and still I can\'t figure how do get difference between two android dates.

This is what I do:

long diff = date1.getTime()

Here is my answer based on @Ole V. V. answer.

This also works with Singular.

private String getDuration(Date d1, Date d2) {
    Duration diff = Duration.between(d1.toInstant(), d2.toInstant());


    long days = diff.toDays();
    diff = diff.minusDays(days);
    long hours = diff.toHours();
    diff = diff.minusHours(hours);
    long minutes = diff.toMinutes();
    diff = diff.minusMinutes(minutes);
    long seconds = diff.toMillis();

    StringBuilder formattedDiff = new StringBuilder();
    if(days!=0){
        if(days==1){
            formattedDiff.append(days + " Day ");

        }else {
            formattedDiff.append(days + " Days ");
        }
    }if(hours!=0){
        if(hours==1){
            formattedDiff.append(hours + " hour ");
        }else{
            formattedDiff.append(hours + " hours ");
        }
    }if(minutes!=0){
        if(minutes==1){
            formattedDiff.append(minutes + " minute ");
        }else{
            formattedDiff.append(minutes + " minutes ");
        }
    }if(seconds!=0){
        if(seconds==1){
            formattedDiff.append(seconds + " second ");
        }else{
            formattedDiff.append(seconds + " seconds ");
        }
    }


    return formattedDiff.toString();
}

It works with a StringBuilder to append everything together.
