Answer 1

You can find difference between two dates without using any library

You just need to find out difference between dates like this :

    long diff = currentdate.getTime() - temp_date.getTime();
                    //current date            //other date

by this you will get difference in milliseconds .. Now you can format this according to your need i.e in hours ago or months ago or years ago format,just by using if conditions

Hope it helps..!
