给定特定的DateTime值，如何显示相对时间，例如：
2小时前3天前一个月前
当前回答
下面是我作为DateTime类的扩展方法添加的一个实现，它处理未来和过去的日期，并提供了一个近似选项，允许您指定要查找的详细程度（“3小时前”与“3小时、23分钟、12秒前”）：
using System.Text;
/// <summary>
/// Compares a supplied date to the current date and generates a friendly English
/// comparison ("5 days ago", "5 days from now")
/// </summary>
/// <param name="date">The date to convert</param>
/// <param name="approximate">When off, calculate timespan down to the second.
/// When on, approximate to the largest round unit of time.</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static string ToRelativeDateString(this DateTime value, bool approximate)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
string suffix = (value > DateTime.Now) ? " from now" : " ago";
TimeSpan timeSpan = new TimeSpan(Math.Abs(DateTime.Now.Subtract(value).Ticks));
if (timeSpan.Days > 0)
{
sb.AppendFormat("{0} {1}", timeSpan.Days,
(timeSpan.Days > 1) ? "days" : "day");
if (approximate) return sb.ToString() + suffix;
}
if (timeSpan.Hours > 0)
{
sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1} {2}", (sb.Length > 0) ? ", " : string.Empty,
timeSpan.Hours, (timeSpan.Hours > 1) ? "hours" : "hour");
if (approximate) return sb.ToString() + suffix;
}
if (timeSpan.Minutes > 0)
{
sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1} {2}", (sb.Length > 0) ? ", " : string.Empty,
timeSpan.Minutes, (timeSpan.Minutes > 1) ? "minutes" : "minute");
if (approximate) return sb.ToString() + suffix;
}
if (timeSpan.Seconds > 0)
{
sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1} {2}", (sb.Length > 0) ? ", " : string.Empty,
timeSpan.Seconds, (timeSpan.Seconds > 1) ? "seconds" : "second");

在Java中有没有一种简单的方法可以做到这一点？java.util.Date类似乎相当有限。
下面是我的快速而肮脏的Java解决方案：
import java.util.Date;
import javax.management.timer.Timer;
String getRelativeDate(Date date) {
long delta = new Date().getTime() - date.getTime();
if (delta < 1L * Timer.ONE_MINUTE) {
return toSeconds(delta) == 1 ? "one second ago" : toSeconds(delta) + " seconds ago";
}
if (delta < 2L * Timer.ONE_MINUTE) {
return "a minute ago";
}
if (delta < 45L * Timer.ONE_MINUTE) {
return toMinutes(delta) + " minutes ago";
}
if (delta < 90L * Timer.ONE_MINUTE) {
return "an hour ago";
}
if (delta < 24L * Timer.ONE_HOUR) {
return toHours(delta) + " hours ago";
}
if (delta < 48L * Timer.ONE_HOUR) {
return "yesterday";
}
if (delta < 30L * Timer.ONE_DAY) {
return toDays(delta) + " days ago";
}
if (delta < 12L * 4L * Timer.ONE_WEEK) { // a month
long months = toMonths(delta);
return months <= 1 ? "one month ago" : months + " months ago";
}
else {
long years = toYears(delta);
return years <= 1 ? "one year ago" : years + " years ago";
}
}
private long toSeconds(long date) {
return date / 1000L;
}
private long toMinutes(long date) {
return toSeconds(date) / 60L;
}
private long toHours(long date) {
return toMinutes(date) / 60L;
}
private long toDays(long date) {
return toHours(date) / 24L;
}
private long toMonths(long date) {
return toDays(date) / 30L;
}
private long toYears(long date) {
return toMonths(date) / 365L;
}
这里是Jeffs Script for PHP的重写：
define("SECOND", 1);
define("MINUTE", 60 * SECOND);
define("HOUR", 60 * MINUTE);
define("DAY", 24 * HOUR);
define("MONTH", 30 * DAY);
function relativeTime($time)
{
$delta = time() - $time;
if ($delta < 1 * MINUTE)
{
return $delta == 1 ? "one second ago" : $delta . " seconds ago";
}
if ($delta < 2 * MINUTE)
{
return "a minute ago";
}
if ($delta < 45 * MINUTE)
{
return floor($delta / MINUTE) . " minutes ago";
}
if ($delta < 90 * MINUTE)
{
return "an hour ago";
}
if ($delta < 24 * HOUR)
{
return floor($delta / HOUR) . " hours ago";
}
if ($delta < 48 * HOUR)
{
return "yesterday";
}
if ($delta < 30 * DAY)
{
return floor($delta / DAY) . " days ago";
}
if ($delta < 12 * MONTH)
{
$months = floor($delta / DAY / 30);
return $months <= 1 ? "one month ago" : $months . " months ago";
}
else
{
$years = floor($delta / DAY / 365);
return $years <= 1 ? "one year ago" : $years . " years ago";
}

与此问题的另一个答案相同，但作为静态字典的扩展方法。
