Calculate date/time difference in java [duplicate]

Answer 1

Here is my code.

import java.util.Date;

// to calculate difference between two days
public class DateDifference {

// to calculate difference between two dates in milliseconds
public long getDateDiffInMsec(Date da, Date db) {
    long diffMSec = 0;
    diffMSec = db.getTime() - da.getTime();
    return diffMSec;
}

// to convert Milliseconds into DD HH:MM:SS format.
public String getDateFromMsec(long diffMSec) {
    int left = 0;
    int ss = 0;
    int mm = 0;
    int hh = 0;
    int dd = 0;
    left = (int) (diffMSec / 1000);
    ss = left % 60;
    left = (int) left / 60;
    if (left > 0) {
        mm = left % 60;
        left = (int) left / 60;
        if (left > 0) {
            hh = left % 24;
            left = (int) left / 24;
            if (left > 0) {
                dd = left;
            }
        }
    }
    String diff = Integer.toString(dd) + " " + Integer.toString(hh) + ":"
            + Integer.toString(mm) + ":" + Integer.toString(ss);
    return diff;

}
}
