Use this below code. It will return number of days between two dates. Date are in format YYYY-MM-DD

YourDatabse database=new YourDatabse (getApplicationContext(), 1);
 SQLiteDatabase sqlite=database.getReadableDatabase();
            Cursor fetch=sqlite.rawQuery("SELECT julianday('"+date2+"') - julianday('"+date1+"')", null);
            fetch.moveToFirst();
            sqlite.close();
            int noOfDays=fetch.getInt(0);

Answer 2

As Jon Skeet wrote, you should have stored the dates in yyyy-mm-dd format.

However, it might be possible to convert your date values into proper date values on the fly by reordering the fields (if the fields in the string have a fixed length):

SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE '2013-03-11' BETWEEN substr(StartDate, 7, 4) || '-' ||
                           substr(StartDate, 4, 2) || '-' ||
                           substr(StartDate, 1, 2)
                       AND substr(EndDate, 7, 4) || '-' ||
                           substr(EndDate, 4, 2) || '-' ||
                           substr(EndDate, 1, 2)
