Time difference

[Rubén V]

Hi,

I have a small method that returns a string with the time of a date. This works fine when I show the start and end time, but the difference appears wrong. Example: Start Time = 8:26:11, End Time = 8:26:13 and Difference = 7: 0: 1.

My method is:

    private String horaTexto(Long fecha) {

        java.util.Calendar c = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();

        Date d = new Date(fecha);

        c.setTime(d);

        return c.get(java.util.Calendar.HOUR) + ":" + c.get(java.util.Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" + c.get(java.util.Calendar.SECOND);

    }

Thanks

Hi,
This is probably due to timezone differences which you're ignoring here. Check out the DateUtil class.
