public static void main(String[] args) {

    String dateStart = "01/14/2012 09:29:58";
    String dateStop = "01/14/2012 10:31:48";

    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");

    Date d1 = null;
    Date d2 = null;

    try {
        d1 = format.parse(dateStart);
        d2 = format.parse(dateStop);

        DateTime date11 = new DateTime(d1);
        DateTime date22 = new DateTime(d2);
        int days = Days.daysBetween(date11.withTimeAtStartOfDay(), date22.withTimeAtStartOfDay()).getDays();
        int hours = Hours.hoursBetween(date11, date22).getHours() % 24;
        int minutes = Minutes.minutesBetween(date11, date22).getMinutes() % 60;
        int seconds = Seconds.secondsBetween(date11, date22).getSeconds() % 60;
        if (hours > 0 || minutes > 0 || seconds > 0) {
            days = days + 1;
        }

        System.out.println(days);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

这将为同一天提供日期差异

在某些地区使用毫秒方法可能会导致问题。

举个例子，03/24/2007和03/25/2007之间的差应该是1天;

然而，如果使用毫秒路径，你将得到0天，如果你在英国运行这个!

/** Manual Method - YIELDS INCORRECT RESULTS - DO NOT USE**/  
/* This method is used to find the no of days between the given dates */  
public long calculateDays(Date dateEarly, Date dateLater) {  
   return (dateLater.getTime() - dateEarly.getTime()) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);  
} 

更好的实现方法是使用java.util.Calendar

/** Using Calendar - THE CORRECT WAY**/  
public static long daysBetween(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;  
}  

int daysDiff = (date1.getTime() - date2.getTime()) / MILLIS_PER_DAY;

使用java。Java 8+内置的时间框架:

ZonedDateTime now = ZonedDateTime.now();
ZonedDateTime oldDate = now.minusDays(1).minusMinutes(10);
Duration duration = Duration.between(oldDate, now);
System.out.println("ISO-8601: " + duration);
System.out.println("Minutes: " + duration.toMinutes());

输出:

ISO-8601: PT24H10M 分钟:罢工,

你需要更清楚地定义你的问题。您可以只取两个Date对象之间的毫秒数，然后除以24小时内的毫秒数，例如……但是:

这将不考虑时区-日期总是UTC 这并没有考虑到日光节约时间(例如，有些日子可能只有23小时) 即使在UTC时间内，8月16日晚上11点到8月18日凌晨2点有多少天?只有27个小时，那意味着一天吗?还是应该是三天，因为它涵盖了三个日期?

有很多方法可以找到日期和时间之间的区别。我所知道的最简单的方法之一是:

      Calendar calendar1 = Calendar.getInstance();
      Calendar calendar2 = Calendar.getInstance();
      calendar1.set(2012, 04, 02);
      calendar2.set(2012, 04, 04);
      long milsecs1= calendar1.getTimeInMillis();
      long milsecs2 = calendar2.getTimeInMillis();
      long diff = milsecs2 - milsecs1;
      long dsecs = diff / 1000;
      long dminutes = diff / (60 * 1000);
      long dhours = diff / (60 * 60 * 1000);
      long ddays = diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

      System.out.println("Your Day Difference="+ddays);

打印语句只是一个示例—您可以按照自己喜欢的方式格式化它。
