You can first parse the strings using the DateFormat.parse() method to get a Date object and then use the Date.getTime() method to return the # of milliseconds from the epoch for each date. Subtract the values returned by getTime(). Divide the result by (60 * 60 * 24 * 1000) = (86400000) to get the # of days difference.
