Question

In my app I´m saving when I last updated some data from my server.
Therefore I used:

long time = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();

Now I want that the data is updated twice a year at 03.03 and 08.08.
How can I check wheater one of these two date boarders were crossed since last update?

Answer 1

Change them to time in mseconds and compare:

 Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.MARCH);
    c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 3);
 long time2=   c.getTimeInMillis();
 c.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.AUGUST);
 c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 8);   
 long time3=   c.getTimeInMillis();
 if(time>time2){
     //Logic
     if(time>time3){
         //Logic
     }
 }
