Hi Mythily,
i am not sure if we be have direct way of fining time differnce. Well as for i know you have java.util.GregorianCalendar Class which helps to achive what you intend too...

[Jan Groth]

depends on your requirements...

if we talk about short intervalls of minutes or hours or so, just get the difference of the millis and recalculate to seconds, minutes, whatever

if we talk about intervalls of days, months, years (leap years!) take joda-time. (just google it)

concerning code examples: the philosophy of this forum is more to help learning than to provide solutions. so, better show us what you did already, and then get help from many friendly users here... :-)

best regards,
jan
