Find the difference between two joda Datetimes in milliseconds

DateTime class provides ‘getMillis’ method which return the milliseconds of the datetime instant from the Java epoch. Using ‘getMillis’ method, you can find the difference in milliseconds.

 

Example

DateTime today = new DateTime();
DateTime tomorrow = today.plusDays(1);

long diffInMillis = tomorrow.getMillis() - today.getMillis();

 

DateTimeDiffInMilliseconds.java

package com.sample.app.joda;

import org.joda.time.DateTime;

public class DateTimeDiffInMilliseconds {

	public static void main(String args[]) {
		DateTime today = new DateTime();
		DateTime tomorrow = today.plusDays(1);

		long diffInMillis = tomorrow.getMillis() - today.getMillis();

		System.out.println("Difference between today and tomorrow in milliseconds: " + diffInMillis);

	}

}

 

Output

Difference between today and tomorrow in milliseconds: 86400000
