How to compare two dates along with time in java

Question

I have two Date objects with the below format.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(\"yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss\");
String         


        

Answer 1

Use compareTo()

Return Values

0 if the argument Date is equal to this Date; a value less than 0 if this Date is before the Date argument; and a value greater than 0 if this Date is after the Date argument.

Like

if(date1.compareTo(date2)>0)
