Datetime conversions

[Peter Bell]

Hi

I was wondering if in Codenameone there are the smane functions as in vb.net  fpr

1.  convert datetime to double and double to datetime

2.  to get the difference in days, minutes between two dates

ciao.

I usually use date1.getTime() to convert the date to milliseconds since epoch.  Then you can just perform arithmetic to figure out the date, minutes,etc.  Minute, hour, second, day, week are easy to calculate from milliseconds.  Months and years is harder due to varying number of days in months/years.
