Question

Currently I have a timestamp for example say, 2012-06-23 14:24:07.975 and
two times – 8AM and 3PM.

In java, how can I check whether the above timestamp is between the particular two time.

In other words, I need to check whether the time in timestamp (2012-06-23 14:24:07.975) falls between 8AM and 3PM or not.

Any suggestions.

You can convert the timestamp into an actual Date afterwards you convert it into a Calendar from where you can extract the hour and check it against your given hours.

Use SimpleDateFormat for getting a Date out of your Timestamp, if you cannot directly convert it.. Afterwards

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.setTime(yourDate);
int hour = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

Now do your hour check.
