/** 
 * {@code date1} has to be earlier than {@code date2}.

public static String relativize(Date date1, Date date2) {
    assert date2.getTime() >= date1.getTime();

    long duration = date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();
    long converted;

    if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "day" : "days");
    } else if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "hour" : "hours");
    } else if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "minute" : "minutes");
    } else if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "second" : "seconds");
    } else {
        return "just now";
    }
}

当然，解决“1小时前”问题的一个简单方法是增加“一小时前”有效的窗口。改变

if (delta < 5400) // 90 * 60
{
    return "an hour ago";
}

into

if (delta < 7200) // 120 * 60
{
    return "an hour ago";
}

这意味着110分钟前发生的事情将被解读为“一小时前”——这可能并不完美，但我认为这比“1小时前”的现状要好。

如果您想获得类似“2天4小时12分钟前”的输出，则需要一个时间跨度：

TimeSpan timeDiff = DateTime.Now-CreatedDate;

然后您可以访问您喜欢的值：

timeDiff.Days
timeDiff.Hours

等

public string getRelativeDateTime(DateTime date)
{
    TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - date;
    if (ts.TotalMinutes < 1)//seconds ago
        return "just now";
    if (ts.TotalHours < 1)//min ago
        return (int)ts.TotalMinutes == 1 ? "1 Minute ago" : (int)ts.TotalMinutes + " Minutes ago";
    if (ts.TotalDays < 1)//hours ago
        return (int)ts.TotalHours == 1 ? "1 Hour ago" : (int)ts.TotalHours + " Hours ago";
    if (ts.TotalDays < 7)//days ago
        return (int)ts.TotalDays == 1 ? "1 Day ago" : (int)ts.TotalDays + " Days ago";
    if (ts.TotalDays < 30.4368)//weeks ago
        return (int)(ts.TotalDays / 7) == 1 ? "1 Week ago" : (int)(ts.TotalDays / 7) + " Weeks ago";
    if (ts.TotalDays < 365.242)//months ago
        return (int)(ts.TotalDays / 30.4368) == 1 ? "1 Month ago" : (int)(ts.TotalDays / 30.4368) + " Months ago";
    //years ago
    return (int)(ts.TotalDays / 365.242) == 1 ? "1 Year ago" : (int)(ts.TotalDays / 365.242) + " Years ago";
}

一个月和一年中的天数的转换值取自谷歌。

我从比尔·盖茨的一个博客中得到了这个答案。我需要在我的浏览器历史记录中找到它，我会给你链接。

执行相同操作的Javascript代码（按要求）：

function posted(t) {
    var now = new Date();
    var diff = parseInt((now.getTime() - Date.parse(t)) / 1000);
    if (diff < 60) { return 'less than a minute ago'; }
    else if (diff < 120) { return 'about a minute ago'; }
    else if (diff < (2700)) { return (parseInt(diff / 60)).toString() + ' minutes ago'; }
    else if (diff < (5400)) { return 'about an hour ago'; }
    else if (diff < (86400)) { return 'about ' + (parseInt(diff / 3600)).toString() + ' hours ago'; }
    else if (diff < (172800)) { return '1 day ago'; } 
    else {return (parseInt(diff / 86400)).toString() + ' days ago'; }
}

基本上，你是以秒为单位工作的。

简单且100%的工作解决方案。
