Quick and dirty, number of mins difference between 2 Date objects
(note this can be negative) ...
long minsDifference(Date testDate)
{
Date dateNow = new Date();
return (testDate.getTime() - dateNow.getTime()) / 1000;
}
There are lots of issues and corner cases with Dates and timezones so
be very careful.
Hope this helps
