I want a Java program that calculates days between two dates.
Type the first date (German notation; with whitespaces: "dd mm yyyy")
Type the second date.
The program should calculates the number of days between the two dates.
How can I include leap years and summertime?
My code:
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NewDateDifference {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Insert first date: ");
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
String[] eingabe1 = new String[3];
while (s.hasNext()) {
int i = 0;
insert1[i] = s.next();
if (!s.hasNext()) {
s.close();
break;
}
i++;
}
System.out.print("Insert second date: ");
Scanner t = new Scanner(System.in);
String[] insert2 = new String[3];
while (t.hasNext()) {
int i = 0;
insert2[i] = t.next();
if (!t.hasNext()) {
t.close();
break;
}
i++;
}
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, Integer.parseInt(insert1[0]));
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, Integer.parseInt(insert1[1]));
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, Integer.parseInt(insert1[2]));
Date firstDate = cal.getTime();
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, Integer.parseInt(insert2[0]));
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, Integer.parseInt(insert2[1]));
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, Integer.parseInt(insert2[2]));
Date secondDate = cal.getTime();
long diff = secondDate.getTime() - firstDate.getTime();
System.out.println ("Days: " + diff / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24);
}
}
UPDATE: The original answer from 2013 is now outdated because some of the classes have been replaced. The new way of doing this is using the new java.time classes.
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MM yyyy");
String inputString1 = "23 01 1997";
String inputString2 = "27 04 1997";
try {
LocalDateTime date1 = LocalDate.parse(inputString1, dtf);
LocalDateTime date2 = LocalDate.parse(inputString2, dtf);
long daysBetween = Duration.between(date1, date2).toDays();
System.out.println ("Days: " + daysBetween);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Note that this solution will give the number of actual 24 hour-days, not the number of calendar days. For the latter, use
long daysBetween = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(date1, date2)
Original answer (outdated as of Java 8)
You are making some conversions with your Strings that are not necessary. There is a SimpleDateFormat class for it - try this:
SimpleDateFormat myFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
String inputString1 = "23 01 1997";
String inputString2 = "27 04 1997";
try {
Date date1 = myFormat.parse(inputString1);
Date date2 = myFormat.parse(inputString2);
long diff = date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();
System.out.println ("Days: " + TimeUnit.DAYS.convert(diff, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
EDIT: Since there have been some discussions regarding the correctness of this code: it does indeed take care of leap years. However, the TimeUnit.DAYS.convert function loses precision since milliseconds are converted to days (see the linked doc for more info). If this is a problem, diff can also be converted by hand:
float days = (diff / (1000*60*60*24));
Note that this is a float value, not necessarily an int.
Simplest way:
public static long getDifferenceDays(Date d1, Date d2) {
long diff = d2.getTime() - d1.getTime();
return TimeUnit.DAYS.convert(diff, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
}
In Java 8, you could accomplish this by using LocalDate and DateTimeFormatter. From the Javadoc of LocalDate:
LocalDate is an immutable date-time object that represents a date,
often viewed as year-month-day.
And the pattern can be constructed using DateTimeFormatter. Here is the Javadoc, and the relevant pattern characters I used:
Symbol - Meaning - Presentation - Examples
y - year-of-era - year - 2004; 04
M/L - month-of-year - number/text - 7; 07; Jul;
July; J
d - day-of-month - number - 10
Here is the example:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
public class Java8DateExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
final DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MM yyyy");
final BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
final String firstInput = reader.readLine();
final String secondInput = reader.readLine();
final LocalDate firstDate = LocalDate.parse(firstInput, formatter);
final LocalDate secondDate = LocalDate.parse(secondInput, formatter);
final long days = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(firstDate, secondDate);
System.out.println("Days between: " + days);
}
}
Example input/output with more recent last:
23 01 1997
27 04 1997
Days between: 94
With more recent first:
27 04 1997
23 01 1997
Days between: -94
Well, you could do it as a method in a simpler way:
public static long betweenDates(Date firstDate, Date secondDate) throws IOException
{
return ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(firstDate.toInstant(), secondDate.toInstant());
}
Most / all answers caused issues for us when daylight savings time came around. Here's our working solution for all dates, without using JodaTime. It utilizes calendar objects:
public static int daysBetween(Calendar day1, Calendar day2){
Calendar dayOne = (Calendar) day1.clone(),
dayTwo = (Calendar) day2.clone();
if (dayOne.get(Calendar.YEAR) == dayTwo.get(Calendar.YEAR)) {
return Math.abs(dayOne.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) - dayTwo.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));
} else {
if (dayTwo.get(Calendar.YEAR) > dayOne.get(Calendar.YEAR)) {
//swap them
Calendar temp = dayOne;
dayOne = dayTwo;
dayTwo = temp;
}
int extraDays = 0;
int dayOneOriginalYearDays = dayOne.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
while (dayOne.get(Calendar.YEAR) > dayTwo.get(Calendar.YEAR)) {
dayOne.add(Calendar.YEAR, -1);
// getActualMaximum() important for leap years
extraDays += dayOne.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
}
return extraDays - dayTwo.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) + dayOneOriginalYearDays ;
}
}
The best way, and it converts to a String as bonus ;)
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
try {
//Dates to compare
String CurrentDate= "09/24/2015";
String FinalDate= "09/26/2015";
Date date1;
Date date2;
SimpleDateFormat dates = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
//Setting dates
date1 = dates.parse(CurrentDate);
date2 = dates.parse(FinalDate);
//Comparing dates
long difference = Math.abs(date1.getTime() - date2.getTime());
long differenceDates = difference / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
//Convert long to String
String dayDifference = Long.toString(differenceDates);
Log.e("HERE","HERE: " + dayDifference);
}
catch (Exception exception) {
Log.e("DIDN'T WORK", "exception " + exception);
}
}
Use:
public int getDifferenceDays(Date d1, Date d2) {
int daysdiff = 0;
long diff = d2.getTime() - d1.getTime();
long diffDays = diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) + 1;
daysdiff = (int) diffDays;
return daysdiff;
}
Java date libraries are notoriously broken. I would advise to use Joda Time. It will take care of leap year, time zone and so on for you.
Minimal working example:
import java.util.Scanner;
import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.Days;
import org.joda.time.LocalDate;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
public class DateTestCase {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Insert first date: ");
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
String firstdate = s.nextLine();
System.out.print("Insert second date: ");
String seconddate = s.nextLine();
// Formatter
DateTimeFormatter dateStringFormat = DateTimeFormat
.forPattern("dd MM yyyy");
DateTime firstTime = dateStringFormat.parseDateTime(firstdate);
DateTime secondTime = dateStringFormat.parseDateTime(seconddate);
int days = Days.daysBetween(new LocalDate(firstTime),
new LocalDate(secondTime)).getDays();
System.out.println("Days between the two dates " + days);
}
}
String dateStart = "01/14/2015 08:29:58";
String dateStop = "01/15/2015 11:31:48";
//HH converts hour in 24 hours format (0-23), day calculation
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
Date d1 = null;
Date d2 = null;
d1 = format.parse(dateStart);
d2 = format.parse(dateStop);
//in milliseconds
long diff = d2.getTime() - d1.getTime();
long diffSeconds = diff / 1000 % 60;
long diffMinutes = diff / (60 * 1000) % 60;
long diffHours = diff / (60 * 60 * 1000) % 24;
long diffDays = diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
System.out.print(diffDays + " days, ");
System.out.print(diffHours + " hours, ");
System.out.print(diffMinutes + " minutes, ");
System.out.print(diffSeconds + " seconds.");
want to get just days(no times) you can use ChronoUnit
ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(date1.toLocalDate(), date2.toLocalDate());
We can make use of LocalDate and ChronoUnit java library, Below code is working fine.
Date should be in format yyyy-MM-dd.
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
import java.util.*;
class Solution {
public int daysBetweenDates(String date1, String date2) {
LocalDate dt1 = LocalDate.parse(date1);
LocalDate dt2= LocalDate.parse(date2);
long diffDays = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(dt1, dt2);
return Math.abs((int)diffDays);
}
}
When I run your program, it doesn't even get me
to the point where I can enter the second date.
This is simpler and less error prone.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class Test001 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
BufferedReader br = null;
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
System.out.println("Insert first date : ");
Date dt1 = sdf.parse(br.readLine().trim());
System.out.println("Insert second date : ");
Date dt2 = sdf.parse(br.readLine().trim());
long diff = dt2.getTime() - dt1.getTime();
System.out.println("Days: " + diff / 1000L / 60L / 60L / 24L);
if (br != null) {
br.close();
}
}
}
// date format, it will be like "2015-01-01"
private static final String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd";
// convert a string to java.util.Date
public static Date convertStringToJavaDate(String date)
throws ParseException {
DateFormat dataFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
return dataFormat.parse(date);
}
// plus days to a date
public static Date plusJavaDays(Date date, int days) {
// convert to jata-time
DateTime fromDate = new DateTime(date);
DateTime toDate = fromDate.plusDays(days);
// convert back to java.util.Date
return toDate.toDate();
}
// return a list of dates between the fromDate and toDate
public static List<Date> getDatesBetween(Date fromDate, Date toDate) {
List<Date> dates = new ArrayList<Date>(0);
Date date = fromDate;
while (date.before(toDate) || date.equals(toDate)) {
dates.add(date);
date = plusJavaDays(date, 1);
}
return dates;
}
The following works perfectly well for me:
public int daysBetween(LocalDate later, LocalDate before) {
SimpleDateFormat myFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
int daysBetween = 0;
try {
Date dateBefore = myFormat.parse(localDateToString(before));
Date dateAfter = myFormat.parse(localDateToString(later));
long difference = dateAfter.getTime() - dateBefore.getTime();
daysBetween = (int) (difference / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return daysBetween;
}
public String localDateToString(LocalDate date) {
DateTimeFormatter myFormat = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MM yyyy");
return date.format(myFormat).toString();
}
All the other answers had lots of scary things, here's my simple solution:
public int getDaysDiff(Date dateToCheck)
{
long diffMilliseconds = new Date().getTime() - dateToCheck.getTime();
double diffSeconds = diffMilliseconds / 1000;
double diffMinutes = diffSeconds / 60;
double diffHours = diffMinutes / 60;
double diffDays = diffHours / 24;
return (int) Math.round(diffDays);
}
public class TestCode {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String date1 = "23-04-2021";
String date2 = "24-05-2021";
System.out.println("NDays: " + nDays_Between_Dates(date1, date2));
}
public static int nDays_Between_Dates(String date1, String date2) {
int diffDays = 0;
try {
SimpleDateFormat dates = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date startDate = dates.parse(date1);
Date endDate = dates.parse(date2);
long diff = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();
diffDays = (int) (diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return Math.abs(diffDays);
}
}
Output: NDays: 31
public static String dateCalculation(String getTime, String dependTime) {
//Time A is getTime that need to calculate.
//Time B is static time that Time A depend on B Time and calculate the result.
Date date = new Date();
final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss");
Date dateObj = null;
Date checkDate = null;
try {
dateObj = sdf.parse(getTime);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return "0";
}
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
String checkInDate = dateFormat.format(dateObj).toString();
Date defaultTime = null;

I have the requirement to calculate the price with two same dates but different input data formats. I am hoping for the same result. How can make the below-mentioned code so that output should be the same?
Sample code-calculation
String str="14-04-2021"; // Current date.
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
Date startDate = df.parse(str);
output while pricing logic calculation = 43.06
Date date = new Date(); // System date.
while calculating some price logic = 42.904
public double getCalculatedProductTotalPriceBasedOnRdd(double prdTotalPrice, String pPMAnnualNetPrice, String rdd) throws ParseException {
Date startDate;
if (null != rdd) {
//startDate=new Date();
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
startDate = df.parse(rdd);
} else {
startDate = new Date();
}
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(startDate);
cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
Date sDate=cal.getTime();
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
int days = calculateDaysBetweenTwoDates(startDate);
boolean leapYear = cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) > 365;
if (null != pPMAnnualNetPrice) {
if (leapYear) {
prdTotalPrice = (Double.parseDouble(pPMAnnualNetPrice) * days) / 366;
} else {
prdTotalPrice = (Double.parseDouble(pPMAnnualNetPrice) * days) / 365;
}
}
return prdTotalPrice;
}
Start using new java.time APIs, instead of old java.util.Date. There is a good article about this.
Following is the demo code:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
double price = calculate(42.0, "147", "14-04-2021");
System.out.println(price);
price = calculate(42.0, "147", null);
System.out.println(price);
}
static double calculate(double prdTotalPrice, String pPMAnnualNetPrice, String rdd) {
LocalDate startDate;
if (null != rdd) {
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy");
startDate = LocalDate.parse(rdd, formatter);
} else {
startDate = LocalDate.now();
}
// int days = calculateDaysBetweenTwoDates(startDate);
int days = startDate.getDayOfYear();
boolean leapYear = startDate.isLeapYear();
if (null != pPMAnnualNetPrice) {
if (leapYear) {
prdTotalPrice = (Double.parseDouble(pPMAnnualNetPrice) * days) / 366;
} else {
prdTotalPrice = (Double.parseDouble(pPMAnnualNetPrice) * days) / 365;
}
}
return prdTotalPrice;
}
}
Output:
41.88493150684931
41.88493150684931

want to get just days(no times) you can use ChronoUnit
ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(date1.toLocalDate(), date2.toLocalDate());
We can make use of LocalDate and ChronoUnit java library, Below code is working fine.
Date should be in format yyyy-MM-dd.
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
import java.util.*;
class Solution {
public int daysBetweenDates(String date1, String date2) {
LocalDate dt1 = LocalDate.parse(date1);
LocalDate dt2= LocalDate.parse(date2);
long diffDays = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(dt1, dt2);
return Math.abs((int)diffDays);
}
}
When I run your program, it doesn't even get me
to the point where I can enter the second date.
This is simpler and less error prone.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class Test001 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
BufferedReader br = null;
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
System.out.println("Insert first date : ");
Date dt1 = sdf.parse(br.readLine().trim());
System.out.println("Insert second date : ");
Date dt2 = sdf.parse(br.readLine().trim());
long diff = dt2.getTime() - dt1.getTime();
System.out.println("Days: " + diff / 1000L / 60L / 60L / 24L);
if (br != null) {
br.close();
}
}
}
// date format, it will be like "2015-01-01"
private static final String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd";
// convert a string to java.util.Date
public static Date convertStringToJavaDate(String date)
throws ParseException {
DateFormat dataFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
return dataFormat.parse(date);
}
// plus days to a date
public static Date plusJavaDays(Date date, int days) {
// convert to jata-time
DateTime fromDate = new DateTime(date);
DateTime toDate = fromDate.plusDays(days);
// convert back to java.util.Date
return toDate.toDate();
}
// return a list of dates between the fromDate and toDate
public static List<Date> getDatesBetween(Date fromDate, Date toDate) {
List<Date> dates = new ArrayList<Date>(0);
Date date = fromDate;
while (date.before(toDate) || date.equals(toDate)) {
dates.add(date);
date = plusJavaDays(date, 1);
}
return dates;
}
The following works perfectly well for me:
public int daysBetween(LocalDate later, LocalDate before) {
SimpleDateFormat myFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
int daysBetween = 0;
try {
Date dateBefore = myFormat.parse(localDateToString(before));
Date dateAfter = myFormat.parse(localDateToString(later));
long difference = dateAfter.getTime() - dateBefore.getTime();
daysBetween = (int) (difference / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return daysBetween;
}
public String localDateToString(LocalDate date) {
DateTimeFormatter myFormat = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MM yyyy");
return date.format(myFormat).toString();
}
All the other answers had lots of scary things, here's my simple solution:
public int getDaysDiff(Date dateToCheck)
{
long diffMilliseconds = new Date().getTime() - dateToCheck.getTime();
double diffSeconds = diffMilliseconds / 1000;
double diffMinutes = diffSeconds / 60;
double diffHours = diffMinutes / 60;
double diffDays = diffHours / 24;
return (int) Math.round(diffDays);
}
public class TestCode {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String date1 = "23-04-2021";
String date2 = "24-05-2021";
System.out.println("NDays: " + nDays_Between_Dates(date1, date2));
}
public static int nDays_Between_Dates(String date1, String date2) {
int diffDays = 0;
try {
SimpleDateFormat dates = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date startDate = dates.parse(date1);
Date endDate = dates.parse(date2);
long diff = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();
diffDays = (int) (diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return Math.abs(diffDays);
}
}
Output: NDays: 31
public static String dateCalculation(String getTime, String dependTime) {
//Time A is getTime that need to calculate.
//Time B is static time that Time A depend on B Time and calculate the result.
Date date = new Date();
final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss");
Date dateObj = null;
Date checkDate = null;
try {

} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return "0";

Hello everyone i try to check between days two daytimes
i have for example 12/10/2014 and 12/15/2015 datetimes.I wrote some code witch can to check different days between there two daytimes
this is a my source
public String getDateDiffString(Date dateOne, Date dateTwo) {
long timeOne = dateOne.getTime();
long timeTwo = dateTwo.getTime();
long oneDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
long delta = (timeTwo - timeOne) / oneDay;
if (delta > 0) {
return String.valueOf(delta);
} else {
delta *= -1;
return String.valueOf(delta);
}
}
this code working perfect but i want to increase days for example 12/10/2014, 12/11,2014.....12/20/2014 between first and second daytimes.i i also wrote code but result is between first date and second days -1(between 12/19/2014)
this is a my source
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date _d;
try {
SimpleDateFormat new_df = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM");
_d = df.parse(timeInfo.getTimeformat().get(0));
Date _d1 = df.parse(timeInfo.getEndTimeFormat().get(0));
String datetimeis = getDateDiffString(_d1, _d);
int differentdays = Integer.parseInt(datetimeis);
Log.e("Different is ", "" + differentdays);
for (int k = 0; k < differentdays; k++) {
String datetimeformat = dateFormatter(timeInfo.getStartTimePeriod().get(0));
Date datetime = new_df.parse(datetimeformat);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(datetime);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, k);
datetime = cal.getTime();
String ttime = new_df.format(datetime);
ApishaDaysAdapter.add(ttime);
ApishaHollsAdapter.add(timeInfo.getHole());
String start_time = timeInfo.getTime();
start_time = start_time.replace(",", "\n");
ApishaTimesAdapter.add(start_time);
timeInfo.setStartTimePeriod(ttime);
System.out.println(ttime);
}
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
how i can solve my problem?if anyone knows solution please help me
i want to increase days [12 -20] and not [12-19)
I am trying to check if the current time is in the range of a specified range. I made a method to check this, but it doesn't work. I'm not sure why not and how to get it to work.
private Calendar fromTime;
private Calendar toTime;
private Calendar currentTime;
public boolean checkTime(String time) {
try {
String[] times = time.split("-");
String[] from = times[0].split(":");
String[] until = times[1].split(":");
fromTime = Calendar.getInstance();
fromTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, Integer.valueOf(from[0]));
fromTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.valueOf(from[1]));
toTime= Calendar.getInstance();
toTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, Integer.valueOf(until[0]));
toTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.valueOf(until[1]));
currentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
currentTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
currentTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Calendar.MINUTE);
if(currentTime.after(fromTime) && currentTime.before(toTime)){
return true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
return false;
}
I am trying to test it like this:
if(checkTime("06:00-19:00")){
inRange = true;
}
The NPE is gone, but it's still not calculating if the time is in the range of fromTime to toTime. Any help is very much appreciated!
Initialize variables and change the return type of your method to boolean.
private Calendar fromTime;
private Calendar toTime;
private Calendar currentTime;
public boolean checkTime(String time) {
try {
String[] times = time.split("-");
String[] from = times[0].split(":");
String[] until = times[1].split(":");
fromTime = Calendar.getInstance();
fromTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.valueOf(from[0]));
fromTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.valueOf(from[1]));
toTime = Calendar.getInstance();
toTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.valueOf(until[0]));
toTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.valueOf(until[1]));
currentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
currentTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
currentTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Calendar.MINUTE);
if(currentTime.after(fromTime) && currentTime.before(toTime)){
return true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
return false;
}
You have not initialized toTime and fromTime objects before using them. So better call toTime = Calendar.getInstance(); before.
private Calendar fromTime;
private Calendar toTime;
private Calendar currentTime;
public boolean checkTime(String time) {
try {
String[] times = time.split("-");
String[] from = times[0].split(":");
String[] until = times[1].split(":");
fromTime = Calendar.getInstance();
fromTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, Integer.valueOf(from[0]));
fromTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.valueOf(from[1]));
toTime = Calendar.getInstance();
toTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, Integer.valueOf(until[0]));
toTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.valueOf(until[1]));
currentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
currentTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
currentTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Calendar.MINUTE);
if(currentTime.after(fromTime) && currentTime.before(toTime)){
return true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
return false;
}
this
currentTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
currentTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Calendar.MINUTE);
Doesn't do what you would like it to do. What it does is set the field HOUR to the value of Calendar.HOUR, which is an arbitrary constant.
You don't need those 2 lines as getInstance returns a Calendar at the current time.
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance();
//cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
String date = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
String dateStart = date+" "+"11:30:00";
String date2 = sdf.format(cal2.getTime());
String dateStop = date2+" "+"23:00:00";
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
String currentTime = format.format(calendar.getTime());
Date d1 = null;
Date d2 = null;
Date d3 = null;
try {
d1 = format.parse(dateStart);
d2 = format.parse(dateStop);
d3 = format.parse(currentTime);
// Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),""+dateCal,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if (d3.before(d2)
&& d3.after(d1) ){}else{} } catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Put currentTime outside of setTime and remove if-statement from setTime.
If you need put if-statement outside of setTime.
private boolean checkBedTime(String time) {
// Time Pattern Like : "06:00-19:00"
String[] times = time.split("-");
String[] from = times[0].split(":");
String[] until = times[1].split(":");
int fromHour = Integer.parseInt(from[0]);
int fromMinute = Integer.parseInt(from[1]);
int toHour = Integer.parseInt(until[0]);
int toMinute = Integer.parseInt(until[1]);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
int currentHour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int currentMinute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int convertedFromMinute = (fromHour * 60) + fromMinute;
int convertedToMinute = (toHour * 60) + toMinute;
int convertedCurrentMinute = (currentHour * 60) + currentMinute;
if (convertedFromMinute == convertedToMinute) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Sleep Time & Wake Up Time can't be same", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
} else if (convertedToMinute < convertedFromMinute) {
convertedToMinute = convertedToMinute + (24 * 60);
}
Log.v("Time", "FromMinute --> " + convertedFromMinute);
Log.v("Time", "ToMinute --> " + convertedToMinute);
Log.v("Time", "CurrentMinute -- > " + convertedCurrentMinute);
if (convertedCurrentMinute >= convertedFromMinute && convertedCurrentMinute <= convertedToMinute) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
