Android Question DateUtils Period Difference

[mmieher]

Must be missing something simple... "9" is not the correct number of days between 7/1/2021 and 12/10/2021

Dim DateSobriety As String = iMap.Get("datesobriety")     ' this is 2021-07-01 in database
            
DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
Dim StartTime As Long = DateTime.DateParse(DateSobriety)
            
Dim PerDiff As Period
PerDiff = DateUtils.PeriodBetween(StartTime, DateTime.Now)
Log("StartTime : " & DateTime.Date(StartTime))
Log("Today     : " & DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now))
Log("Days diff.: " & PerDiff.Days)

Log:
StartTime : 2021-07-01
Today : 2021-12-10
Days diff.: 9

Try with:

PerDiff = DateUtils.PeriodBetweenInDays (StartTime, DateTime.Now)

You are missing that the Period includes Months and Days and not just days. You were ignoring the Months value.

PerDiff = DateUtils.PeriodBetweenInDays (StartTime, DateTime.Now)

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Doh! That's what I get for jumping out of the Tutorial too soon!
