You should consult this thread. It has a whole bunch of questions about date.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. // Date d;
  2. // const int SECS_PER_MIN = 60;
  3. // const int MIN_PER_HR = 60;
  4. long hours = (d.getTime() / (SECS_PER_MIN * MIN_PER_HR))
Date.getTime() returns how many seconds have passed since 1/1/1979. So that equation just converts it to hours. You never specify a reference point, you may need to add or subtract a fixed amount of hours.
