Since dates can contain hours and minutes, final result will be rounded down, which will result in incorrect value. For example, you calculate difference between today at 22:00 p.m and day after tomorrow 00:00 a.m, so the final result will be 1, because in reality it was 1.08 or smth difference, then it gets rounded down when calling TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(..). That's why you need to take that in account, so in my solution I subtract the remainder of milliseconds from milliseconds in a day. Additionally, if you want to count the end date, you need to +1 it.

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public static long getDaysBetween(Date date1, Date date2, boolean includeEndDate) {
        long millisInDay = 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000;
        long difference = Math.abs(date1.getTime() - date2.getTime());
        long add = millisInDay - (difference % millisInDay);//is used to calculate true number of days, because by default hours, minutes are also counted

        return TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(difference + add) + (includeEndDate ? 1 : 0);
    }

测试:

Date date1 = new Date(121, Calendar.NOVEMBER, 27); //2021 Nov 27
Date date2 = new Date(121, Calendar.DECEMBER, 29); //2021 Dec 29
System.out.println( getDaysBetween(date1, date2, false) ); //32 days difference
System.out.println( getDaysBetween(date1, date2, true) ); //33 days difference

以毫秒为单位减去日期是可行的(如另一篇文章所述)，但在清除日期的时间部分时，你必须使用HOUR_OF_DAY而不是HOUR:

public static final long MSPERDAY = 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000;
...
final Calendar dateStartCal = Calendar.getInstance();
dateStartCal.setTime(dateStart);
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); // Crucial.
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
final Calendar dateEndCal = Calendar.getInstance();
dateEndCal.setTime(dateEnd);
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); // Crucial.
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
final long dateDifferenceInDays = ( dateStartCal.getTimeInMillis()
                                  - dateEndCal.getTimeInMillis()
                                  ) / MSPERDAY;
if (dateDifferenceInDays > 15) {
    // Do something if difference > 15 days
}

如果你不想使用JodaTime或类似的，最好的解决方案可能是:

final static long MILLIS_PER_DAY = 24 * 3600 * 1000;
long msDiff= date1.getTime() - date2.getTime();
long daysDiff = Math.round(msDiff / ((double)MILLIS_PER_DAY));

每天的毫秒数并不总是相同的(因为日光节约时间和闰秒)，但它非常接近，至少由于日光节约时间的偏差在较长时间内抵消了。因此，除法和舍入将给出正确的结果(至少只要所使用的本地日历不包含DST和闰秒以外的奇怪时间跳转)。

请注意，这仍然假设date1和date2被设置为一天中的同一时间。对于一天中的不同时间，你首先必须定义“日期差异”的含义，正如乔恩·斯基特指出的那样。

试试这个:

int epoch = (int) (new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss").parse("01/01/1970  00:00:00").getTime() / 1000);

你可以在parse()方法参数中编辑字符串。

@Michael Borgwardt的回答实际上在Android上不能正常运行。存在舍入错误。例如5月19日到21日是1天，因为它是1.99:1。在转换为int型之前使用round。

Fix

int diffInDays = (int)Math.round(( (newerDate.getTime() - olderDate.getTime()) 
                 / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24) ))

请注意，这适用于UTC日期，因此如果查看本地日期，差异可能会减小一天。由于夏时制的原因，要让它在本地日期上正确工作，需要一种完全不同的方法。

Days d = Days.daysBetween(startDate, endDate);
int days = d.getDays();
