I am using LocalDateTime but instead of getting the difference of 2 DateTime, it only calculated the time. It did not count the day.

Here's the code:

LocalDateTime fromdate = LocalDateTime.of(orderYear,orderMonth,orderDay,orderHour,orderMinute,orderSeconds);
LocalDateTime todate = LocalDateTime.of(deliverYear, deliverMonth, deliverDay,deliverHour,deliverMinute,deliverSeconds);
int a = fromdate.get(ChronoField.MINUTE_OF_DAY)-todate.get(ChronoField.MINUTE_OF_DAY);

The output of above code is zero since, in 2 hours in date_time_from equivalent to 120 mins subtracted to 2 hours in date_time_to.

Is there another way to get the total minutes and include to compute the date?

回答1:

LocalDateTime fromdate = LocalDateTime.of(orderYear,orderMonth,orderDay,orderHour,orderMinute,orderSeconds);
LocalDateTime todate = LocalDateTime.of(deliverYear, deliverMonth, deliverDay,deliverHour,deliverMinute,deliverSeconds);
Duration difference = Duration.between(fromdate, todate);

Then you can format it using something similar to...

long hours = difference.toHours();
long mins = difference.minusHours(hours).toMinutes();

// Or if you're lucky enough to be using Java 9+
//String formatted = String.format("%dhrs %02dmins", duration.toHours(), duration.toMinutesPart());
String formatted = String.format("%dhrs %02dmins", hours, mins);

And just to prove the point...

import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.ENGLISH);
        List<LocalDateTime> from = new ArrayList<>(5);
        List<LocalDateTime> to = new ArrayList<>(5);

        from.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-16 02:00:00", formatter));
        from.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-16 03:00:00", formatter));
        from.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-16 04:00:00", formatter));
        from.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-16 05:00:00", formatter));
        from.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-16 06:00:00", formatter));

        to.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-18 02:00:00", formatter));
        to.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-18 03:00:00", formatter));
        to.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-18 04:00:00", formatter));
        to.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-18 05:00:00", formatter));
        to.add(LocalDateTime.parse("2018-06-18 06:00:00", formatter));

        for (int index = 0; index < from.size(); index++) {
            LocalDateTime fromDate = from.get(index);
            LocalDateTime toDate = to.get(index);
            String difference = formatDurationBetween(fromDate, toDate);
            System.out.println(fromDate.format(formatter) + " - " + toDate.format(formatter) + " = " + difference);
        }
    }

    public static String formatDurationBetween(LocalDateTime from, LocalDateTime to) {
        Duration difference = Duration.between(from, to);

        long days = difference.toDays();
        difference = difference.minusDays(days);
        long hours = difference.toHours();
        long mins = difference.minusHours(hours).toMinutes();

        return String.format("%dd %dh %02dm", days, hours, mins);
    }

}

Outputs...

2018-06-16 02:00:00 - 2018-06-18 02:00:00 = 2d 0h 00m
2018-06-16 03:00:00 - 2018-06-18 03:00:00 = 2d 0h 00m
2018-06-16 04:00:00 - 2018-06-18 04:00:00 = 2d 0h 00m
2018-06-16 05:00:00 - 2018-06-18 05:00:00 = 2d 0h 00m
2018-06-16 06:00:00 - 2018-06-18 06:00:00 = 2d 0h 00m

You can of course make your own formatting algorithm based on your needs

回答2:

Is that what you asking for,

LocalDateTime fromDate = LocalDateTime.of(2018, 6, 16, 2, 0, 0);
LocalDateTime toDate = LocalDateTime.of(2018, 6, 18, 2, 0, 0);
long minutes = Duration.between(fromDate, toDate).toMinutes();

Update

As per the below comment leading zeros were removed since they are error prone.

回答3:

I need the output to be in mins only. Thanks

There are two great answers already so this is just to add that while the Duration class is the most general and flexible for representing the difference between two date-times, there is a simpler option, ChronoUnit.MINUTES:

    LocalDateTime fromdate = LocalDateTime.of(2018, Month.JUNE, 16, 2, 0, 0);
    LocalDateTime todate = LocalDateTime.of(2018, Month.JUNE, 18, 2, 0, 0);
    long diffInMinutes = ChronoUnit.MINUTES.between(fromdate, todate);
    System.out.println(diffInMinutes);

Output is

2880
