You can use following:

    public static boolean CheckDates(String startDate, String endDate) {

    SimpleDateFormat dfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");

    boolean b = false;

    try {
        if (dfDate.parse(startDate).before(dfDate.parse(endDate))) {
            b = true;  // If start date is before end date.
        } else if (dfDate.parse(startDate).equals(dfDate.parse(endDate))) {
            b = true;  // If two dates are equal.
        } else {
            b = false; // If start date is after the end date.
        }
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return b;
}
