Subject: NSTimestamp calculations?
Whats the easiest way to subtract NSTimestamps from each other?
The methods getMinutes() etc both from NSTimestamp and Date are
unfortunately deprecated :-(
The getTime() method is your friend!
here are a few useful methods from my NSTimestampHelper bag-o-tricks...
public static int deltaDays( NSTimestamp one, NSTimestamp two ) {
long diff = two.getTime() - one.getTime(); // diff is in
milliseconds
long roundingOffset = ( diff >= 0 ) ? 12 : -12; // if diff
is positive, offset up, if negative, offset down
// next, convert diff to hours, offset by .5 days to
round the end result, divide by 24 and truncate.
long days = ( ( diff / ( 1000 * 60 * 60 ) ) +
roundingOffset ) / 24;
return (int)days;
}
public static int deltaHours( NSTimestamp one, NSTimestamp two ) {
long diff = two.getTime() - one.getTime(); // diff is in
milliseconds
long roundingOffset = ( diff >= 0 ) ? 30 : -30; // if diff
is positive, offset up, if negative, offset down
// next, convert diff to minutes, offset by .5 hour to
round the end result, divide by 60 and truncate.
long hours = ( ( diff / ( 1000 * 60 ) ) + roundingOffset ) /
60;
return (int)hours;
}
public static int deltaMinutes( NSTimestamp one, NSTimestamp
two ) {
long diff = two.getTime() - one.getTime(); // diff is in
milliseconds
long roundingOffset = ( diff >= 0 ) ? 30 : -30; // if diff
is positive, offset up, if negative, offset down
// next, convert diff to seconds, offset by .5 minute
to round the end result, divide by 60 and truncate.
long minutes = ( ( diff / ( 1000 ) ) + roundingOffset ) / 60;
return (int)minutes;
}
Enjoy!!

You can use getTime() [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: Whats the easiest way to subtract NSTimestamps from each other?

Re: NSTimestamp calculations?
First off, you can not reply to another message and change the subject - it messes up people who view by thread, and also screws up the archived version of the list.To answer your question, there are a few ways. If I have minutes or hours that I want to add or subject from an existing timestamp, I use:timestampByAddingGregorianUnits(int years, int months, int days, int hours, int minutes, int seconds) If you have 2 timestamps and you want to do some manipulations, you really should convert it to GregorianCalendar - I typically do this:NSTimestamp settlementDateTime = (NSTimestamp) frame.valueForKey(Definition.settlementDate);GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();cal.setTime(settlementDateTime);int year = cal.get(GregorianCalendar.YEAR);int dayOfMonth = cal.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);int month = cal.get(GregorianCalendar.MONTH);NSTimestamp settlementDate = new NSTimestamp(year, month+1, dayOfMonth, 0, 0, 0, TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));KenOn Jul 27, 2006, at 10:16 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Whats the easiest way to subtract NSTimestamps from each other?The methods getMinutes() etc both from NSTimestamp and Date are unfortunately deprecated :-( ___Do not post admin requests to the list.
