Timestamp to Date/Time

I am trying to make a football Livescore app. And I need to show the match time to users as their local match time.
if I was generated a Timestamp from a given timezone, lets say it is
autodatetime(1517009400,6.5); //original timezone included
//I can make it done in javascript by https://www.autodatetime.com/
But I was trying to get it from Android with this code
public String getconvertedtime(long timestamp) {
try{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),Integer.toString(TimeZone.getDefault().getDSTSavings()),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
//getTimezonedifference() return 0 for me
timestamp= timestamp-getTimezonedifference();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(timestamp * 1000);
calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, (tz.getOffset(calendar.getTimeInMillis())-tz.getDSTSavings()));
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss aa");
Date currentTimeZone = calendar.getTime();
return dateFormat.format(currentTimeZone);
}catch (Exception e) {
return "";
}
}
public int getTimezonedifference() {
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
Calendar cal = GregorianCalendar.getInstance(tz);
double offsetInMillis = tz.getOffset(cal.getTimeInMillis());
//String offset = String.format("%02d:%02d", Math.abs(offsetInMillis / 3600000), Math.abs((offsetInMillis / 60000) % 60));
//offset = "GMT"+(offsetInMillis >= 0 ? "+" : "-") + offset;
offsetInMillis= Math.abs((offsetInMillis)-(6.5*3600000));
int vall=(int)offsetInMillis;
return vall;
}
Unfortunately It was returning wrong time, I can't figure it out why it was showing faster hours .
The result is 01/27/2018 12:30:00 PM
It must be 01/26/2018 11:30:00 PM for my Local TimeZone(6.5)
And I found something about different DST problems from googling and get 0 from "TimeZone.getDefault().getDSTSavings()" on Toast.
Please guide me to the solution, I am new to android programming. Thank you for reading.

Given epoch of 1517009400, which is 01/26/2018 23:30:00 GMT, to show this time in user's local time:
// convert to epoch milli seconds
long ts = 1517009400000l;
Date date = new Date(ts);
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);
android.util.Log.i("TEST", "dateStr: " + dateStr);
dateStr will be formatted according to timezone of user's phone. For example, my phone is set to Asia/Kuala_Lumpur timezone, which is GMT+8, so it shows 01/27/2018 07:30:00.
To format date string into particular timezone (eg: New York), you can try this:
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"));
String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);
This outputs 01/26/2018 18:30:00.

Calculate date/time difference in java
how would a future date such as Sat Feb 17 2012 be converted into milliseconds in java that can then be subtracted from the current time in milliseconds to yield time remaining until that future date.

The simplest technique would be to use DateFormat:
String input = "Sat Feb 17 2012";
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(input);
long milliseconds = date.getTime();
long millisecondsFromNow = milliseconds - (new Date()).getTime();
Toast.makeText(this, "Milliseconds to future date="+millisecondsFromNow, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
A more difficult technique (that basically does what DateFormat does for you) involves parsing it yourself (this would not be considered best practice):
String input = "Sat Feb 17 2012";
String[] myDate = input.split("\\s+");
int year = Integer.parseInt(myDate[3]);
String monthString = myDate[1];
int mo = monthString.equals("Jan")? Calendar.JANUARY :
monthString.equals("Feb")? Calendar.FEBRUARY :
monthString.equals("Mar")? Calendar.MARCH :
monthString.equals("Apr")? Calendar.APRIL :
monthString.equals("May")? Calendar.MAY :
monthString.equals("Jun")? Calendar.JUNE :
monthString.equals("Jul")? Calendar.JULY :
monthString.equals("Aug")? Calendar.AUGUST :
monthString.equals("Sep")? Calendar.SEPTEMBER :
monthString.equals("Oct")? Calendar.OCTOBER :
monthString.equals("Nov")? Calendar.NOVEMBER :
monthString.equals("Dec")? Calendar.DECEMBER : 0;
int day = Integer.parseInt(myDate[2]);
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(year, mo, day);
long then = c.getTimeInMillis();
Time current_time = new Time();
current_time.setToNow();
long now = current_time.toMillis(false);
long future = then - now;
Date d = new Date(future);
//TODO use d as you need.
Toast.makeText(this, "Milliseconds to future date="+future, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Firts, you must parse you String to get its Date representation. Here are examples and some docs.
Then you shoud call getTime() method of your Date.

DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy", Locale.US);
long futureTime = 0;
try {
Date date = format.parse("Sat Feb 17 2012");
futureTime = date.getTime();
} catch (ParseException e) {
Log.e("log", e.getMessage(), e);
}
long curTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long diff = futureTime - curTime;

Pass year, month and day of the future date in the date of this code and variable diff will give the millisecond time till that date,
Date date = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, day).getTime();
Date today = new Date();
long diff = date.getTime() - today.getTime();

You can simply call the getTime() method of date object. please follow through the sample below
import java.util.Date;
public class Test {
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(new Date("Sat Feb 17 2012").getTime());
}
}

try { String str_date="11-June-07";
SimpleDateFormat formatter ;
Date date ;
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
date = (Date) formatter.parse(str_date);
Log.i("test",""+date);
} catch (Exception e)
{System.out.println("Exception :"+e); }
Date d = new Date();
long time = d.getTime();
long timeDiff = time - lastTime;
//timeDiff will contain your value.
//import these two,
//import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
//import java.util.Date;

how to get correct date diffrence

i want to compare a date with the current date and do something if the difference is 2 months or 6 or a year .. but i have a problem how to get the correct difference for example if the current month is 02 2015 and the other month is 10 2014 i will get 8 in difference but the actual difference is 4 .. how to do it ?
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current time => " + c.getTime());
SimpleDateFormat d = new SimpleDateFormat("dd");
SimpleDateFormat m = new SimpleDateFormat("MM");
SimpleDateFormat ye = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy");
String day = d.format(c.getTime());
String month = m.format(c.getTime());
String year = ye.format(c.getTime());
int d1=Integer.parseInt(day);
int m1=Integer.parseInt(month);
int d2=25;
int m2=02;
int diff=d1-d2;
String s=String.valueOf(diff);

You are calculating your difference between two int, so it can't work.
You should calculate it between two dates or two long (in secondes or milliseconds)
long oneDay, today, delay;
oneDay = 1000*3600*24; //number of milliseconds in a day
today = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
delay = (TheDateYouWantToCompare - today)/oneDay;
if (delay >= 60*oneDay) { //more than 2 months
//your code
}else{
//your code
}
If TheDateYouWantToCompare and today are dates, it's almost the same :
delay = (TheDateYouWantToCompare.getTime() - today.getTime())/oneDay;
Edit :
Here it is how to get time in milliseconds.
String DateString = "31-12-2015";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date myDate = sdf.parse(DateString);
long timeInMilliseconds = myDate.getTime();

You could just use the difference in milliseconds between the 2 dates. Pre-compute the differences you need/want as constants and compare to the delta you have, for example:
static final long DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 25;
static final long MONTH = DAY * 30;
...
int diff = d1 - d2;
if(diff > MONTH) {
//more than a month difference
}
If you need something more complex you should perhaps use a library such as Joda Time which will give a more comprehensive set of features to work with time.

Calculating date certain period from now

I have a start date (day, month, year) and need the date say 4 weeks from that date. How can I calculate that? I know how to find the difference between two dates using Calendar so I assume I'm not too far from the answer... Thank you!!!
edit:
This is the final code I wound up using. It returns a String whose value is a date span formatted "MM/dd/YYYY - MM/dd/YYYY"
#SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat")
private String getSessionDate(int position) {
MySession ms = mSessionList.get(position);
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(ms.getStartYear(), ms.getStartMonth(), ms.getStartDay());
Date startDate = calendar.getTime();
String durationString = ms.getDurationString(); // Format is "## weeks"
int i = 0;
while (Character.isDigit(durationString.charAt(i))) {
i++;
}
int weeks = Integer.parseInt(durationString.substring(0, i));
calendar.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, weeks);
return (format.format(startDate) + " - " + format.format(calendar.getTime()));
}

You can use Calender instance for that.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(currentdate);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, no_of_days)
Date newDate = calendar.getTime();
You can calculate the date by adding or subtracting the no of days
Example :
Get date after 1 week
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 7);
Get date before 1 week
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, -7);

Date date=null;
SimpleDateFormat originalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
try {
date = originalFormat.parse(strDate); // strDate is your date from which you want to get date after 4 weeks
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
long timeFor4week=4*7*24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; /// here 24*60*60*1000 =24 hours i.e 1 day
long timeAfter4week=date.getTime()+timeFor4week;
String finalDateString=originalFormat.format(new Date(timeAfter4week));
So you can get day after 4 weeks.

Android: Date (year,month,day) [duplicate]

How to compare dates in Java? [duplicate]
(11 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I want to get the date as a year, month ,day without hours or minutes or any thing else, and I don't want to get the year alone and the month and the day each by its self. Because as a full date I need it to comparison with another date
such as today 28.11.2012 and to compare it to 11.12.2011
as if today minus 11.12.2011 more than 280 day I want to execute some code

you can use SimpleDateFormat.
The basics for getting the current date
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy");
String now = df.format(new Date());
or
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
String now = df.format(new Date());
EDITED :
First of All you have the date in String Formate. you have to Convert into date Formate. try below code to do that. you have apply same for both the String strThatDay & strTodaDay you will get Calender Object for both.
String strThatDay = "2012/11/27";
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
Date d = null;
try {
d = formatter.parse(strThatDay);//catch exception
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Calendar thatDay = Calendar.getInstance();
thatDay.setTime(d);
after that try below code to get Day from two Date :
long diff = today.getTimeInMillis() - thatDay.getTimeInMillis(); //result in millis
long days = diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
try it out. Hope it will help you.

Always use Simpledateformat(yyyy/mm/dd) for comparision..
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date());
Use this currentDateandTime to compare with other date.
I think this may be a solution.U have to get instance of 2 calendar (1 for current date and another for compare date.
Calendar cal1=Calendar.getInstance();
Date dt=null;
try{
dt = sdf.parse(currentDateandTime);
cal1.setTime(dt);
}catch (ParseException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
int currentDaycmp= cal1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int currentMonthcmp=cal1.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int currentYearcmp=cal1.get(Calendar.YEAR);
Calendar cal2=Calendar.getInstance();
Date dtend=null;
try{
dtend = sdf.parse(comparedate);
cal2.setTime(dtend);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
int currentDayend= cal2.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int currentMonend=cal2.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int currentyearend=cal2.get(Calendar.YEAR);
now find the difference
currentDaycmp-currentDayend(your condition)..then execute your block..
U try this..May be meet ur requirement..

You may want to use Joda-Time for this:
final DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd.MM.yyyy");
LocalDate first = LocalDate.parse("28.11.2012", formatter);
// LocalDate first = new LocalDate(2012, 11, 28);
// LocalDate first = LocalDate.now();
LocalDate second = LocalDate.parse("11.12.2011", formatter);
int daysBetween = Days.daysBetween(first, second).getDays();
You should be aware of that daysBetween is a negative value if the second date is before the first like in this example.
For the given example daysBetween is -353.

You can use the compareTo method.
Firstly, make sure that the two dates you are using have the same format. That is, if one is YYYY,DD,MM then the other would be the same.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-dd");
Date firstDate = sdf.parse("2012-11-27");
System.out.println(sdf.format(firstDate));
And then you would do a firsDate.compareTo(SecondDate);
if firstDate.compareTo(SecondDate) < 280 {
...
}

Calendar todayCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
Calendar pickedDateCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
todayCalendar.set(currentYear,currentMonth,currentDay);
pickedDateCalendar.set(birthDayDatePicker.getYear(),birthDayDatePicker.getMonth(),birthDayDatePicker.getDayOfMonth());
System.out.println("Days= "+daysBetween(todayCalendar.getTime(),pickedDateCalendar.getTime()));
int Days = daysBetween(todayCalendar.getTime(),pickedDateCalendar.getTime());
public int daysBetween(Date d1, Date d2){
return (int)( (d2.getTime() - d1.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
}
