Most of the answers were good and right for your problem of

so i want to find the difference between date in number of days, how do i find difference in days?

I suggest this very simple and straightforward approach that is guaranteed to give you the correct difference in any time zone:

int difference= 
((int)((startDate.getTime()/(24*60*60*1000))
-(int)(endDate.getTime()/(24*60*60*1000))));

And that's it!
