Compare Date object with a TimeStamp in Java

Question

When I test this code:

java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
java.util.Date stamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(date.getTime());

assertTrue(date.equals(sta         


        

Answer 1

I've resolved converting both Date and TimeStamp into a Calendar object and then i've compared the single Calendar's properties:

Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
date.setTimeInMillis(dateObject.getTime());
Calendar timestamp = Calendar.getInstance();
timestamp.setTimeInMillis(timestampObject.getTime());
if (effettoAppendice.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) == timestamp.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) &&
    effettoAppendice.get(Calendar.MONTH) == timestamp.get(Calendar.MONTH) &&
    effettoAppendice.get(Calendar.YEAR) == timestamp.get(Calendar.YEAR)) {
    System.out.println("Date and Timestamp are the same");
} else {
    System.out.println("Date and Timestamp are NOT the same");
}

Hope this helps.
