Question

I have Integer fields:

currentYear,currentMonth,currentDay,currentHour,currentMinute and nextYear,nextMonth,nextDay,nextHour,nextMinute.

How I can get difference between those two spots in time in milliseconds.
I found a way using Date() object, but those functions seems to be depricated, so it’s little risky.

Any other way?

Use GregorianCalendar to create the date, and take the diff as you otherwise would.

GregorianCalendar currentDay=new  GregorianCalendar (currentYear,currentMonth,currentDay,currentHour,currentMinute,0);
GregorianCalendar nextDay=new  GregorianCalendar (nextYear,nextMonth,nextDay,nextHour,nextMinute,0);

diff_in_ms=nextDay. getTimeInMillis()-currentDay. getTimeInMillis();
