Question

Is there a way to have only dates compared for DateTime object with isBefore function?

For ex.,

DateTime start = new DateTime(Long.parseLong(<someInput>));
DateTime end   = new DateTime(Long.parseLong(<someInput>));

Now when I do,

while (start.isBefore(end)) { 
   // add start date to the list
   start = start.plusDays(1);
}  

This results in inconsistent behavior (for my scenario) as it is taking into consideration time as well whereas what I want is to have just the dates compared using isBefore. Is there a way I can do that?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

If you want to compare dates only you probably want to use the LocalDate class, rather than a DateTime.

The JodaTime docs are pretty good: http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/LocalDate.html
