Hi katarnak,
you are right !
you have to use try/catch statement.
And if i want to put this code in a method and call it
from another class what shoudl be the return type of
this method?the ex i gave you print the result as a String
if you want to use it as a method do this :
public java.util.Date doDifference(java.util.Date dateStart, java.util.Date dateEnd) throws ParseException{
java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new
java.text.SimpleDateFormat("hhmmss");
java.util.Date dateStart =
dateFormat.parse(strDateStart);
java.util.Date dateEnd =
dateFormat.parse(strDateEnd);
java.util.Date difference= new
java.util.Date(dateStart.getTime()-dateEnd.getTime());
return difference;
now the return type is java.util.Date !
when you use this method do :
java.util.Date dateDiffence;
try {
dateDifference = TheClassWhichContainsTheMethod.doDifference(YourDateStart, YourDateEnd) ;
catch (ParseException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
Badr.
