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
}

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

一个稍微简单一点的选择:

System.currentTimeMillis() - oldDate.getTime()

至于“更好”，你到底需要什么?将时间持续时间表示为小时数和天数等的问题是，由于日期的复杂性，它可能导致不准确和错误的期望(例如，由于夏令时，一天可能有23或25小时)。

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

另一个纯Java变体:

public boolean isWithin30Days(Calendar queryCalendar) {

    // 1. Take the date you are checking, and roll it back N days
    Calendar queryCalMinus30Days = Calendar.getInstance();
    queryCalMinus30Days.setTime(queryCalendar.getTime());
    queryCalMinus30Days.add(Calendar.DATE, -30); // subtract 30 days from the calendar

    // 2. Get respective milliseconds for the two Calendars: now & queryCal minus N days 
    long nowL = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
    long queryCalMinus30DaysL = queryCalMinus30Days.getTimeInMillis();

    // 3. if nowL is still less than the queryCalMinus30DaysL, it means queryCalendar is more than 30 days into future
    boolean isWithin30Days = nowL >= queryCalMinus30DaysL;

    return isWithin30Days;
}

感谢这里的入门代码:https://stackoverflow.com/a/30207726/2162226

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