Android/Java - Date Difference in days

Question

I am getting the current date (in format 12/31/1999 i.e. mm/dd/yyyy) as using the below code:

Textview txtViewData;
txtViewDate.setText(\"Today is \" +
              


        

Answer 1

Use jodatime API

Days.daysBetween(start.toDateMidnight() , end.toDateMidnight() ).getDays() 

where 'start' and 'end' are your DateTime objects. To parse your date Strings into DateTime objects use the parseDateTime method

There is also an android specific JodaTime library.
