Hi,
I don't think there is any direct method to get the difference between timestamp. You'll have to formulate using GregorianCalendar.

One more solution....
U can use the class called Timestamp which extends Date class. Date class has methods of comparing two objects.
Hope, this helps u.

Hi Nayanjyoti Talukdar,
Can you give a small example code?
Thanks in advance.

The difference as what? The simplest way is to use getTime() to get the timestamps in milliseconds since 1970, which is a long. You can simply subtract the two values to get the difference in milliseconds.
That may or may not be useful to you.
