Count days between dates stored in mysql database and current date with netbeans java

I need to calculate the difference between 2 dates in days..which first date should be the current date and the next one is already has stroed in Mysql database ..

Mysql date format of the stored date is yyyy-MM-dd

And I just took the stored date through a textfield So please help me solve this !

Solution

  • java.time

    If you stored the date as text, parse as LocalDate.

    LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.parse( input ) ;

    If you more properly stored the date in a column of a type akin to the SQL-standard DATE type, retrieve as a LocalDate.

    LocalDate localDate = myResultSet.getObject( … , LocalDate.class ) ;

    Capture the current date as seen in the wall-clock time used by the people of some particular region (a time zone). 

    ZoneId z = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" ) ;

LocalDate today = LocalDate.now( z ) ;

    Calculate leaped time in days. 

    long days = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between( localDate , today ) ;

    Table of date-time types in Java (both legacy and modern) and in standard SQL

    Tip: To represent a date range, a pair of LocalDateobjects, add the ThreeTen-Extra library to your project. Use the LocalDateRange class. 

    LocalDateRange range = LocalDateRange.of( localDate , today ) ;

    About java.time

    The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

    To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

    The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

    You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes.

    Where to obtain the java.time classes?

    The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.
