How to find time is today or yesterday in android

Question

I am developing an application for sending SMS. I am storing the current time and showing in the sent history page by retrieving the time from the database. In the sent history page I want to display the time of the message was sent. Here I want to check that the message has been sent today or yesterday or the the day before yesterday like that. If the message was sent yesterday means then I need to display "Yesterday 20:00" like that and even the message was sent yesterday before means "Monday 20:00". I don't know how it has to be done. Please help me if anybody knows.

Since you haven't tried any code yet, you don't know what help you'll need. Asking a question is premature. Wait until you see what gives you trouble. — David Schwartz, Oct 10 '12 at 11:58

To check if date is today, use Android utils library

DateUtils.isToday(long timeInMilliseconds)

This utils class also offers human readable strings for relative times. For example,

DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(long timeInMilliseconds) -> "42 minutes ago"

The are several parameters you can play with to define how precise the time span should be

See DateUtils

DateUtils.isToday(myDate.getTime()) is working fine, thank you ! – Loenix Jul 04 '15 at 18:40

Is this consuming the local (non-UTC) time or UTC-timestamps only? – Matthias Jul 19 '15 at 08:31

`DateUtils.isToday(long millis)` works as described by @Maragues, but be aware, that if you use this method in a piece of code that you want to unit test (like a ViewModel or a Presenter), you will get a RuntimeException when running your tests. This is due to the fact that the android.jar that is used for unit tests does not contain any code. For more info [link](http://g.co/androidstudio/not-mocked) – Kaskasi Nov 01 '16 at 07:13

As mentioned, DateUtils.isToday(d.getTime()) will work for determining if Date d is today. But some responses here don't actually answer how to determine if a date was yesterday. You can also do that easily with DateUtils:

public static boolean isYesterday(Date d) {
    return DateUtils.isToday(d.getTime() + DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS);
}

Following that, you could also determine if a date was tomorrow:

public static boolean isTomorrow(Date d) {
    return DateUtils.isToday(d.getTime() - DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS);
}

This should be the accepted answer. Simple to read, and effective. Only way to make it even more effective would be to write the methods for a millis timestamp, so one can use it with Calendar, Date or whatever class you prefer. – joe1806772 Nov 13 '17 at 16:54
This is great. But for some weird reason I'm not able to use this as an extension function in Kotlin like: `fun DateUtils.isYesterday(d: Long): Boolean { return DateUtils.isToday(d + DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS) }` – Saifur Rahman Mohsin Feb 21 '20 at 23:02

You can do that easily using android.text.format.DateFormat class. Try something like this.

public String getFormattedDate(Context context, long smsTimeInMilis) {
    Calendar smsTime = Calendar.getInstance();
    smsTime.setTimeInMillis(smsTimeInMilis);

    Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();

    final String timeFormatString = "h:mm aa";
    final String dateTimeFormatString = "EEEE, MMMM d, h:mm aa";
    final long HOURS = 60 * 60 * 60;
    if (now.get(Calendar.DATE) == smsTime.get(Calendar.DATE) ) {
        return "Today " + DateFormat.format(timeFormatString, smsTime);
    } else if (now.get(Calendar.DATE) - smsTime.get(Calendar.DATE) == 1  ){
        return "Yesterday " + DateFormat.format(timeFormatString, smsTime);
    } else if (now.get(Calendar.YEAR) == smsTime.get(Calendar.YEAR)) {
        return DateFormat.format(dateTimeFormatString, smsTime).toString();
    } else {
        return DateFormat.format("MMMM dd yyyy, h:mm aa", smsTime).toString();
    }
}

Are you sure that it is correct? You compare only dates, what about year and month? Today is 20.11.2014, but your code shows "Today" for 20.10.2010 – Daryn Nov 20 '14 at 05:44

This answer is not correct. As per documentation, Calendar.DATE is a synonym for DAY_OF_MONTH. Therefore you are not comparing neither the year nor the month. – Joao Sousa Oct 31 '16 at 08:55
Yes, it is not correct. (Calendar.DATE) == smsTime.get(Calendar.DATE) matches only date, not month and year. it returns true for 01.01.2012 and 01.01.2017 – Anjum Jan 24 '17 at 09:09

For "today" text this solution is always correct but for "yesterday" text It is not correct in the first day of the month. Method get(Calendar.DATE) returns day of the month and for example 1 - 31 = -30 instead 1 what should display "yesterday" - because 31th of December is the previous day of 1st of January. – lukjar Jan 01 '19 at 12:55
The "today" and "yesterday" needs to include the month and the year in the check, not only the Calendar.DATE – Zakaria Boukaddouss Sep 09 '20 at 06:58

For today you can use DateUtils.isToday from android API.

For yesterday you can use that code:

public static boolean isYesterday(long date) {
    Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar cdate = Calendar.getInstance();
    cdate.setTimeInMillis(date);

    now.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);

    return now.get(Calendar.YEAR) == cdate.get(Calendar.YEAR)
        && now.get(Calendar.MONTH) == cdate.get(Calendar.MONTH)
        && now.get(Calendar.DATE) == cdate.get(Calendar.DATE);
}

If your API level is 26 or higher, then you better use LocalDate class:

fun isToday(whenInMillis: Long): Boolean {
    return LocalDate.now().compareTo(LocalDate(whenInMillis)) == 0
}

fun isTomorrow(whenInMillis: Long): Boolean {
    return LocalDate.now().plusDays(1).compareTo(LocalDate(whenInMillis)) == 0
}

fun isYesterday(whenInMillis: Long): Boolean {
    return LocalDate.now().minusDays(1).compareTo(LocalDate(whenInMillis)) == 0
}

If your app has lower API level, use

fun isToday(whenInMillis: Long): Boolean {
    return DateUtils.isToday(whenInMillis)
}

fun isTomorrow(whenInMillis: Long): Boolean {
    return DateUtils.isToday(whenInMillis - DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS)
}

fun isYesterday(whenInMillis: Long): Boolean {
    return DateUtils.isToday(whenInMillis + DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS)
}

if (DateUtils.isToday(mDate.getTimeInMillis())) {

DateUtils.isToday() should be considered deprecated because android.text.format.Time is now deprecated. Until they update the source code for isToday, there is no solution here that detects today, yesterday, handles shifts to/from daylight saving time, and does not use deprecated code. Here it is in Kotlin, using a today field that must be kept up to date periodically (e.g. onResume etc):

@JvmStatic
fun dateString(ctx: Context, epochTime: Long): String {
    val epochMS = 1000*epochTime
    val cal = Calendar.getInstance()
    cal.timeInMillis = epochMS

This is the code I ended up with for now:

import android.text.format.DateFormat

fun java.util.Date.asPrettyTime(context: Context): String {
    val nowTime = Calendar.getInstance()

    val dateTime = Calendar.getInstance().also { calendar ->
        calendar.timeInMillis = this.time
    }

    if (dateTime[Calendar.YEAR] != nowTime[Calendar.YEAR]) { // different year
        return DateFormat.format("MM.dd.yyyy.  ·  HH:mm", dateTime).toString()
    }

    if (dateTime[Calendar.MONTH] != nowTime[Calendar.MONTH]) { // different month
        return DateFormat.format("MM.dd.  ·  HH:mm", dateTime).toString()
    }

    return when {
        nowTime[Calendar.DATE] == dateTime[Calendar.DATE] -> { // today
            "${context.getString(R.string.today)}  ·  ${DateFormat.format("HH:mm", dateTime)}"
        }
        nowTime[Calendar.DATE] - dateTime[Calendar.DATE] == 1 -> { // yesterday
            "${context.getString(R.string.yesterday)}  ·  ${DateFormat.format("HH:mm", dateTime)}"
        }
        nowTime[Calendar.DATE] - dateTime[Calendar.DATE] == -1 -> { // tomorrow
            "${context.getString(R.string.tomorrow)}  ·  ${DateFormat.format("HH:mm", dateTime)}"
        }
        else -> { // other date this month
            DateFormat.format("MM.dd.  ·  HH:mm", dateTime).toString()
        }
    }
}

Here is a simple solution that I use:

public static boolean isTomorrow(Calendar c) {
    Calendar tomorrow = Calendar.getInstance();
    tomorrow.add(Calendar.DATE,1);
    return (tomorrow.get(Calendar.YEAR) == c.get(Calendar.YEAR)) && (tomorrow.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) == (c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR)));
}

public static boolean isToday(Calendar c) {
    Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
    return (today.get(Calendar.YEAR) == c.get(Calendar.YEAR)) && (today.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) == c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));
}

This covers all the edge-cases that may occur.

Without any library and simple code, work on every Kotlin project

//Simple date format of the day
val sdfDate = SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy")

//Create this 2 extensions of Date
fun Date.isToday() = sdfDate.format(this) == sdfDate.format(Date())
fun Date.isYesterday() =
    sdfDate.format(this) == sdfDate.format(Calendar.getInstance().apply { 
          add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1) }.time)
 
    
//And after everwhere in your code you can do
if(myDate.isToday()){
   ...
}
else if(myDate.isYesterday()) {
...
}
