How to calculate number of days between two datepicker in android and display in the edit text

Closed 2 years ago.
I have been trying to find the difference between two dates from date picker. My app is getting crashed for null point object exception.
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'long java.util.Date.getTime()' on a null object reference

//This is where I tried performing subtraction but it didn't work
long diff = dateto.getTime() - datefrom.getTime();
difference.setText((int) diff);
}
});
}
}

By putting String in front of dateto, you've made it a declaration of a local variable rather than a reference to the instance variable (that you're trying to access later). So it will forever be null. Change:
String dateto = month + "/" + dayOfMonth + "/" + year;
to
dateto = new Date(month, dayOfMonth, year); // no "String"
However, the Date constructor is deprecated and using Date is strongly discouraged, so you should really use something like:
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;
//...
Instant dateto;
//...
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(month, dayOfMonth, year);
dateto = localDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneOffset.UTC).toInstant();

Never mind, I figured out the answer using joda library
I have made it with different UI, joda library dependancy is included in build.gradle. It worked perfect.

How do I calculate time difference between two time pickers in android?

I am able to find out the difference between two time intervals, but when the time 1st 12:00am or 00:00 and 2nd time is any other time, I am not getting accurate difference. Instead I am getting a negative difference. Upon debugging I figured out the time is actually taking of the year 1970 January. I am unable to correct it by taking today's time and calculate the difference.

You are parsing the time using only hours and minutes, without providing the year, month and day the sdf will assume Jan 1st, 1970.
You should do this in a different way: initialize a calendar object for each date using Calendar.getInstance(), this will give you an instance with today's date, then set the hours and minutes for those 2 instances according to the hours and minutes in the picker and check the difference between their timeInMilliseconds.
Calendar time = Calendar.getInstance();
time.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
time.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);

Android - one date and two time pickers in one dialog

I want to have one date and two time pickers in one dialog and I have done it, but the second time (Time to) is getting the same values as (time from). I have put some 'if cases' to try to fix it but didn't help. I get ("2016/10/27 5:41 0:00) even if I pick the time for the two "timepickers" I don't get the value for the second one or it duplicates the first one.

When the app is running, I go to the settings and change the Timezone to such a value so that the current date will change. Now when we select any date in the dialog, it behaves abnormally and goes to other date. I have used setMinDate() and setMaxDate() methods. This happens only in Android OS 5.1.
Any idea or help? Thanks in advance.

DialogFragment does not update the Display

I am new to android development and I hope you can help me solve my problem. Any help will be appreciated. I created a dialogfragment for picking dates. I am able to select the desired dates but I am having trouble in displaying the selected dates.
Here is my DialogFragment
public class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment implements
DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
private Calendar mCalendar;
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker
mCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = mCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int monthOfYear = mCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int dayOfMonth = mCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
}
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
mCalendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
mCalendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear);
mCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
}
and I call it from my remindersFragment which extends fragment
private void registerButtonListenersAndSetDefaultText() {
mDateButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//getActivity().showDialog(DATE_PICKER_DIALOG);
android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment newFragment = new DatePickerFragment();
newFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
updateDateButtonText();
}
});
updateDateButtonText();
}
and my updateButton :
private void updateDateButtonText() {
// Set the date button text based upon the value from the database
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
String dateForButton = dateFormat.format(mCalendar.getTime());

I hope you can help me. I've been trying to figure this out for days but I had no luck. Thanks in advance.
Here is the full code on my DialogFragment. I hope this will help:

int dayOfMonth = mCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
}
#Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
