Answer 1

In you DateTimeFormatter, it expects a Date in a certain format, i.e. "EEE hh:mma MMM d, yyyy":

DateTime dateTime = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("EEE hh:mma MMM d, yyyy")
            .parseDateTime(date);

But what you pass, is of format "MM/dd/yyyy":

SimpleDateFormat outputFormat1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
op = outputFormat1.format(d);
op = formatToYesterdayOrToday(op);

So, what you could do is to change your DateTimeFormatter to expect you initial format "MM/dd/yyyy":

DateTime dateTime = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MM/dd/yyyy")
            .parseDateTime(date);

This should solve the error that you get. I don't know if the whole thing in the end gives you what you want ("today", "yesterday", "2 days ago", ...).
