How can I calculate number of days between two dates?

Call the getTime() method on both dates. getTime() returns the number of
milliseconds since January 1, 1970, as a long. Subtract both numbers,
then divide the result by 86400000 (the number of milliseconds in one
day; 24 x 60 x 60 x 1000) and voilà. Perhaps the result needs some
rounding but I leave that up to your implementation.

Calendar calDueDate = new GregorianCalendar();
calDueDate.setTime(getDueDate());
int dueDateYear = calDueDate.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int dueDateDayofYear = calDueDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
Calendar calToday = new GregorianCalendar();
int todayYear = calToday.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int todayDayofYear = calToday.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
int nDaysElapse = todayDayofYear - dueDateDayofYear;
int nYearsElapse = todayYear - dueDateYear;
int nChargeableDays = (nYearsElapse * 365) + nDaysElapse;
return nChargeableDays;
Maybe there is a better way, but that is what I used.

Are you guaranteed that each year elapsed has 365 days? What abt leap years?

long days = (date.getTime() - date2.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
// next time, don't be so lazy, and use your own brain.
