How do I calculate someone's age in Java?

Answer 1

What about this one?

public Integer calculateAge(Date date) {
    if (date == null) {
        return null;
    }
    Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal1.setTime(date);
    Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance();
    int i = 0;
    while (cal1.before(cal2)) {
        cal1.add(Calendar.YEAR, 1);
        i += 1;
    }
    return i;
}
