在阅读了许多关于这个问题的回答和评论后，我的印象是，要么使用Joda时间，要么考虑到日光节约时间的一些特点等等。由于这两种方法我都不想做，所以我最终编写了几行代码来计算两个日期之间的差异，而没有使用任何与日期或时间相关的Java类。

在下面的代码中，年、月和日的数字与现实生活中的数字相同。例如，2015年12月24日，年= 2015，月= 12，日= 24。

我想分享这些代码，以防其他人想要使用它。有3种方法:1)找出给定年份是否是闰年的方法2)计算给定年份1月1日的天数的方法3)计算任意两个日期之间天数的方法2(结束日期减去开始日期)。

方法如下:

1)

public static boolean isLeapYear (int year) {
    //Every 4. year is a leap year, except if the year is divisible by 100 and not by 400
    //For example 1900 is not a leap year but 2000 is

    boolean result = false;

    if (year % 4 == 0) {
        result = true;
    }
    if (year % 100 == 0) {
        result = false;
    }
    if (year % 400 == 0) {
        result = true;
    }

    return result;

}

2)

public static int daysGoneSince (int yearZero, int year, int month, int day) {
    //Calculates the day number of the given date; day 1 = January 1st in the yearZero

    //Validate the input
    if (year < yearZero || month < 1 || month > 12 || day < 1 || day > 31) {
        //Throw an exception
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Too many or too few days in month or months in year or the year is smaller than year zero");
    }
    else if (month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11) {//Months with 30 days
        if (day == 31) {
            //Throw an exception
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Too many days in month");
        }
    }
    else if (month == 2) {//February 28 or 29
        if (isLeapYear(year)) {
            if (day > 29) {
                //Throw an exception
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Too many days in month");
            }
        }
        else if (day > 28) {
            //Throw an exception
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Too many days in month");
        }
    }

    //Start counting days
    int days = 0;

    //Days in the target month until the target day
    days = days + day;

    //Days in the earlier months in the target year
    for (int i = 1; i < month; i++) {
        switch (i) {
            case 1: case 3: case 5:
            case 7: case 8: case 10:
            case 12:
                days = days + 31;
                break;
            case 2:
                days = days + 28;
                if (isLeapYear(year)) {
                    days = days + 1;
                }
                break;
            case 4: case 6: case 9: case 11:
                days = days + 30;
                break;
        }
    }

    //Days in the earlier years
    for (int i = yearZero; i < year; i++) {
        days = days + 365;
        if (isLeapYear(i)) {
            days = days + 1;
        }
    }

    return days;

}

3)

public static int dateDiff (int startYear, int startMonth, int startDay, int endYear, int endMonth, int endDay) {

    int yearZero;

    //daysGoneSince presupposes that the first argument be smaller or equal to the second argument
    if (10000 * startYear + 100 * startMonth + startDay > 10000 * endYear + 100 * endMonth + endDay) {//If the end date is earlier than the start date
        yearZero = endYear;
    }
    else {
        yearZero = startYear;
    }

    return daysGoneSince(yearZero, endYear, endMonth, endDay) - daysGoneSince(yearZero, startYear, startMonth, startDay);

}

另一个纯Java变体:

public boolean isWithin30Days(Calendar queryCalendar) {

    // 1. Take the date you are checking, and roll it back N days
    Calendar queryCalMinus30Days = Calendar.getInstance();
    queryCalMinus30Days.setTime(queryCalendar.getTime());
    queryCalMinus30Days.add(Calendar.DATE, -30); // subtract 30 days from the calendar

    // 2. Get respective milliseconds for the two Calendars: now & queryCal minus N days 
    long nowL = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
    long queryCalMinus30DaysL = queryCalMinus30Days.getTimeInMillis();

    // 3. if nowL is still less than the queryCalMinus30DaysL, it means queryCalendar is more than 30 days into future
    boolean isWithin30Days = nowL >= queryCalMinus30DaysL;

    return isWithin30Days;
}

如果你想修复跨越夏时制边界的日期范围的问题(例如，一个日期在夏季，另一个日期在冬季)，你可以使用这个来获得天数的差异:

public static long calculateDifferenceInDays(Date start, Date end, Locale locale) {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(locale);

    cal.setTime(start);
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
    long startTime = cal.getTimeInMillis();

    cal.setTime(end);
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
    cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
    long endTime = cal.getTimeInMillis();

    // calculate the offset if one of the dates is in summer time and the other one in winter time
    TimeZone timezone = cal.getTimeZone();
    int offsetStart = timezone.getOffset(startTime);
    int offsetEnd = timezone.getOffset(endTime);
    int offset = offsetEnd - offsetStart;

    return TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(endTime - startTime + offset);
}

这是另一个样本。基本上适用于用户定义的模式。

   public static LinkedHashMap<String, Object> checkDateDiff(DateTimeFormatter dtfObj, String startDate, String endDate)
   {
          Map<String, Object> dateDiffMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
          DateTime start = DateTime.parse(startDate,dtfObj);
          DateTime end = DateTime.parse(endDate,dtfObj);
          Interval interval = new Interval(start, end);
          Period period = interval.toPeriod();

          dateDiffMap.put("ISO-8601_PERIOD_FORMAT", period);
          dateDiffMap.put("YEAR", period.getYears());
          dateDiffMap.put("MONTH", period.getMonths());
          dateDiffMap.put("WEEK", period.getWeeks());
          dateDiffMap.put("DAY", period.getWeeks());             
          dateDiffMap.put("HOUR", period.getHours());
          dateDiffMap.put("MINUTE", period.getMinutes());
          dateDiffMap.put("SECOND", period.getSeconds());

          return dateDiffMap;        
   }

以毫秒为单位减去日期是可行的(如另一篇文章所述)，但在清除日期的时间部分时，你必须使用HOUR_OF_DAY而不是HOUR:

public static final long MSPERDAY = 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000;
...
final Calendar dateStartCal = Calendar.getInstance();
dateStartCal.setTime(dateStart);
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); // Crucial.
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
dateStartCal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
final Calendar dateEndCal = Calendar.getInstance();
dateEndCal.setTime(dateEnd);
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); // Crucial.
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
dateEndCal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
final long dateDifferenceInDays = ( dateStartCal.getTimeInMillis()
                                  - dateEndCal.getTimeInMillis()
                                  ) / MSPERDAY;
if (dateDifferenceInDays > 15) {
    // Do something if difference > 15 days
}

我喜欢基于timeunit的方法，直到我发现它只覆盖了一个时间单元在下一个更高单位中有多少个单位是固定的这种微不足道的情况。当你想知道间隔了多少个月、多少年等时，这个问题就不成立了。

这里有一种计数方法，不像其他方法那么有效，但它似乎对我有用，而且还考虑到了夏令时。

public static String getOffsetAsString( Calendar cNow, Calendar cThen) {
    Calendar cBefore;
    Calendar cAfter;
    if ( cNow.getTimeInMillis() < cThen.getTimeInMillis()) {
        cBefore = ( Calendar) cNow.clone();
        cAfter = cThen;
    } else {
        cBefore = ( Calendar) cThen.clone();
        cAfter = cNow;
    }
    // compute diff
    Map<Integer, Long> diffMap = new HashMap<Integer, Long>();
    int[] calFields = { Calendar.YEAR, Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Calendar.MINUTE, Calendar.SECOND, Calendar.MILLISECOND};
    for ( int i = 0; i < calFields.length; i++) {
        int field = calFields[ i];
        long    d = computeDist( cAfter, cBefore, field);
        diffMap.put( field, d);
    }
    final String result = String.format( "%dY %02dM %dT %02d:%02d:%02d.%03d",
            diffMap.get( Calendar.YEAR), diffMap.get( Calendar.MONTH), diffMap.get( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), diffMap.get( Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY), diffMap.get( Calendar.MINUTE), diffMap.get( Calendar.SECOND), diffMap.get( Calendar.MILLISECOND));
    return result;
}

private static int computeDist( Calendar cAfter, Calendar cBefore, int field) {
    cBefore.setLenient( true);
    System.out.print( "D " + new Date( cBefore.getTimeInMillis()) + " --- " + new Date( cAfter.getTimeInMillis()) + ": ");
    int count = 0;
    if ( cAfter.getTimeInMillis() > cBefore.getTimeInMillis()) {
        int fVal = cBefore.get( field);
        while ( cAfter.getTimeInMillis() >= cBefore.getTimeInMillis()) {
            count++;
            fVal = cBefore.get( field);
            cBefore.set( field, fVal + 1);
            System.out.print( count + "/"  + ( fVal + 1) + ": " + new Date( cBefore.getTimeInMillis()) + " ] ");
        }
        int result = count - 1;
        cBefore.set( field, fVal);
        System.out.println( "" + result + " at: " + field + " cb = " + new Date( cBefore.getTimeInMillis()));
        return result;
    }
    return 0;
}
