Question

I need to check if a date(in string) exists in array list.

I have two dates, first i need to generate date ranges between these two dates and store them in an Array. This is what I am doing.

DateTimeFormatter dateFromatter= DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");

DateTime startDate= formatter.parseDateTime("01/02/2012");
DateTime endDate= formatter.parseDateTime("01/31/2012");

 List<LocalDate> dates = new ArrayList<LocalDate>();


  int days = Days.daysBetween(startDate, endDate).getDays();
  for (int i=0; i < days; i++) {

This is where i am getting problem.

Type mismatch: cannot convert from DateTime to LocalDate

>   LocalDate listOfDates =
> startDate.withFieldAdded(DurationFieldType.days(), i);
> dates.add(listOfDates);

  }

Answer 1

Use org.joda.time.Interval

Interval interval = new Interval(startDate, endDate);  
for (LocalDate date : dates)  
{   
  if (interval.contains(date))  
   //
