I have recently created a demo and uploaded here.
It is using JodaTime library for efficient results.
I hope it will be useful.
Screenshot:
Code:
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private SimpleDateFormat mSimpleDateFormat;
private PeriodFormatter mPeriodFormat;
private Date startDate;
private Date endDate;
private Date birthDate;
private TextView tvStartDate,tvEndDate,tvDifferenceStandard,tvDifferenceCustom,tvBirthDate,tvAgeStandard,tvAgeCustom;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
init();
//determine dateDiff
Period dateDiff = calcDiff(startDate,endDate);
tvDifferenceStandard.setText(PeriodFormat.wordBased().print(dateDiff));
tvDifferenceCustom.setText( mPeriodFormat.print(dateDiff));
//determine age
Period age = calcDiff(birthDate,new Date());
tvAgeStandard.setText(PeriodFormat.wordBased().print(age));
tvAgeCustom.setText( mPeriodFormat.print(age));
}
private void init() {
//ui
tvStartDate = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvStartDate);
tvEndDate = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvEndDate);
tvDifferenceStandard = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvDifferenceStandard);
tvDifferenceCustom = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvDifferenceCustom);
tvBirthDate = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvBirthDate);
tvAgeStandard = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvAgeStandard);
tvAgeCustom = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvAgeCustom);
//components
mSimpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
mPeriodFormat = new PeriodFormatterBuilder().appendYears().appendSuffix(" year(s) ").appendMonths().appendSuffix(" month(s) ").appendDays().appendSuffix(" day(s) ").printZeroNever().toFormatter();
try {
startDate = mSimpleDateFormat.parse(tvStartDate.getText().toString());
endDate = mSimpleDateFormat.parse(tvEndDate.getText().toString());
birthDate = mSimpleDateFormat.parse(tvBirthDate.getText().toString());
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private Period calcDiff(Date startDate,Date endDate)
{
DateTime START_DT = (startDate==null)?null:new DateTime(startDate);
DateTime END_DT = (endDate==null)?null:new DateTime(endDate);
Period period = new Period(START_DT, END_DT);
return period;
}
}

Note:
1)
don't forget to add JodaTime library to your project
2)
As you can see in layout file, I have used fixed value for "Start Date","End Date" to calculate Date Difference and fixed value for "Birth Date" to calculate Age. You may replace it with your dynamic values.
