date difference calculation [ 1024 views ]
Goal: get the time difference between two dates
The following code gives the difference between two times in this form: 1h 12m
public static String getTimeDifference(Date Start, Date End){
String ret = "";
//in milliseconds
long diff = End.getTime() - Start.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);
if(diffHours >0 ){ ret = diffHours + "h "; }
ret += diffMinutes + "m";
return ret;
}
The seconds and the days not used. Just good to know how can calculate these values.
