Number of days between two dates in Joda-Time

Question

How do I find the difference in Days between two Joda-Time DateTime instances  With    difference in days    I mean if start is on Monday and end is on Tuesday I expect a return value of 1 regardless of the hour minute seconds of the start and end dates   Days daysBetween start  end  getDays   gives me 0 if start is in the evening and end in the morning   I m also having the same issue with other date fields so I was hoping there would be a generic way to  ignore  the fields of lesser significance    In other words  the months between Feb and 4 March would also be 1  as would the hours between 14 45 and 15 12 be  However the hour difference between 14 01 and 14 55 would be 0

Annoyingly  the withTimeAtStartOfDay answer is wrong  but only occasionally  You want   Days daysBetween start toLocalDate    end toLocalDate    getDays     It turns out that  midnight start of day  sometimes means 1am  daylight savings happen this way in some places   which Days daysBetween doesn t handle properly      5am on the 20th to 1pm on the 21st  October 2013  Brazil DateTimeZone BRAZIL   DateTimeZone forID  America Sao Paulo    DateTime start   new DateTime 2013  10  20  5  0  0  BRAZIL   DateTime end   new DateTime 2013  10  21  13  0  0  BRAZIL   System out println daysBetween start withTimeAtStartOfDay                                   end withTimeAtStartOfDay    getDays        prints 0 System out println daysBetween start toLocalDate                                   end toLocalDate    getDays        prints 1   Going via a LocalDate sidesteps the whole issue

java time Period  Use the java time Period class to count days   Since Java 8 calculating the difference is more intuitive using LocalDate  LocalDateTime to represent the two dates       LocalDate now   LocalDate now        LocalDate inputDate   LocalDate of 2018  11  28        Period period   Period between  inputDate  now       int diff   period getDays        System out println  diff       diff

you can use LocalDate   Days daysBetween new LocalDate start   new LocalDate end   getDays

Days Class  Using the Days class with the withTimeAtStartOfDay method should work   Days daysBetween start withTimeAtStartOfDay     end withTimeAtStartOfDay     getDays

The accepted answer builds two LocalDate objects  which are quite expensive if you are reading lot of data  I use this     public static int getDaysBetween DateTime earlier  DateTime later          return  int  TimeUnit MILLISECONDS toDays later getMillis  - earlier getMillis           By calling getMillis   you use already existing variables  MILLISECONDS toDays   then  uses a simple arithmetic calculation  does not create any object
