Difference of two Joda LocalDateTimes

Question

I\'ve got 2 Joda LocalDateTime objects and need to produce a 3rd that represents the difference between them:

LocalDateTime start = getStartLoca         


        

Answer 1

You can use org.joda.time.Period class for this - in particular the fieldDifference method.

Example:

LocalDateTime endOfMonth = now.dayOfMonth().withMaximumValue();
LocalDateTime firstOfMonth = now.dayOfMonth().withMinimumValue();
Period period = Period.fieldDifference(firstOfMonth, endOfMonth)
