Try this function.

public static boolean isDateAfter(String startDate,String endDate)
    {
        try
        {
            String myFormatString = "yyyy-M-dd"; // for example
            SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(myFormatString);
            Date date1 = df.parse(endDate));
            Date startingDate = df.parse(startDate);

            if (date1.after(startingDate))
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }
        catch (Exception e) 
        {

            return false;
        }
    }

It return true if enddate is after start date. You can change date format as per your requirement.
