I'm trying to get the number of days between two dates. I'm working from Agenda, JFXtras.
The start time = getStartTime()
returns java.util.Calendar
The end time = getEndTime()
returns java.util.Calendar
This is what I've got so far:
void printAppointment(Appointment a) throws ParseException {
System.out.println(a.getSummary());
System.out.println(a.getDescription());
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy, MMM dd h:mm:ss a z");
System.out.println(formatter.format(a.getStartTime().getTime()));
System.out.println(formatter.format(a.getEndTime().getTime()));
System.out.println(a.getAppointmentGroup());
System.out.println(a.getLocation());
// My problem starts here
Calendar cal1 = new GregorianCalendar();
Calendar cal2 = new GregorianCalendar();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy");
Date date = sdf.parse(formatter.format(a.getStartTime().getTime()));
cal1.setTime(date);
date = sdf.parse(formatter.format(a.getEndTime().getTime()));
cal2.setTime(date);
// System.out.println("Days difference = " + daysBetween(cal1.getTime(), cal2.getTime()));
System.out.println("Days difference = can't be set");
}
private int daysBetween(Date d1, Date d2) {
return (int) ((d2.getTime() - d1.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
}
After // My problem starts here
I get nothing. The following gets printed:
Another Morning appointment
Another Description of morning appointment
2014, Jun 12 6:00:00 AM PDT
2014, Jun 13 2:00:00 AM PDT
jfxtras.labs.scene.control.Agenda$AppointmentGroupImpl@16e4577
null
Note that the difference in days gets left out.
If anyone could help me out, I'll be more than greatful. Thank you all.
Update:
This is the final working implementation that does the difference in Days, Hours, Minutes and seconds as the attempt below shows.

diffSeconds difference = 172800
diffMinutes difference = 2880
diffHours difference = 48
diffDays difference = 2
This is the code that does that
void printAppointment(Appointment a) {
System.out.println(a.getSummary());
System.out.println(a.getDescription());
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy. MMM EEE.d h:mma");
System.out.println(formatter.format(a.getStartTime().getTime()));
System.out.println(formatter.format(a.getEndTime().getTime()));
System.out.println(a.getAppointmentGroup());
System.out.println(a.getLocation());
this.daysBetween(a.getStartTime().getTimeInMillis(), a.getEndTime().getTimeInMillis());
}
private void daysBetween(long t1, long t2) {
int diff = (int) (t2 - t1);
long diffSeconds = diff / 1000;
long diffMinutes = diff / (60 * 1000);
long diffHours = diff / (60 * 60 * 1000);
long diffDays = diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
System.out.println("diffSeconds difference = " + diffSeconds);
System.out.println("diffMinutes difference = " + diffMinutes);
System.out.println("diffHours difference = " + diffHours);
System.out.println("diffDays difference = " + diffDays);
}
Instead of passing a Date to daysBetween, pass a long. You can get the current time (since Jan 1 1970) from a Calendar using getTimeInMillis(). Your code will now look as follows:
void printAppointment(Appointment a) throws ParseException {
System.out.println(a.getSummary());
System.out.println(a.getDescription());
System.out.println(formatter.format(a.getStartTime().getTime()));
System.out.println(formatter.format(a.getEndTime().getTime()));
System.out.println(a.getAppointmentGroup());
System.out.println(a.getLocation());
System.out.println("Days difference = " + daysBetween(a.getStartTime().getTimeInMillis(), a.getEndTime().getTimeInMillis()));
}
private int daysBetween(long t1, long t2) {
return (int) ((t2 - t1) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
}
