Calculate date/time difference in java
try
long diffSeconds = diff / 1000 % 60;
long diffMinutes = diff / (60 * 1000) % 60;
long diffHours = diff / (60 * 60 * 1000);
NOTE: this assumes that diff
is non-negative.
If you are able to use external libraries I would recommend you to use Joda-Time, noting that:
Joda-Time is the de facto standard date and time library for Java prior to Java SE 8. Users are now asked to migrate to java.time (JSR-310).
Example for between calculation:
Seconds.between(startDate, endDate);
Days.between(startDate, endDate);
I would prefer to use suggested java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit
class.
long diff = d2.getTime() - d1.getTime();//as given
long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(diff);
long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(diff);
