Find difference in days in Java

To calculate the difference between two dates, we will be using Calendar (java.util.*) public static long daysDifference(Calendar startDate, Calendar endDate) { Calendar date = (Calendar) startDate.clone(); long daysBetween = 0; while (date.before(endDate)) { date.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); daysBetween++; } return daysBetween; } The while loop will be executed until the startDate is less than the endDate. The long value daysBetween will return the days difference.

We'll skip the usual tips about the 'memory effect' and which battery type is better NiCd or Li-Ion because you don't really have a choice in that. Close Background Applications If you're using a Smartphone, close applications that you don't need. Applications that stay active in the background use up a bit of CPU, which uses up battery. Make sure you 'exit' the applications from the menu, not by pressing the 'End' key, as that merely puts the application in the background. In Series 60 Smartphones (mostly Nokias), hold down the 'Menu' key to get a list of all applications running in the background to close them.
