Java → Convert date string to a relative time stamp

Question

I'm looking for a rational way of converting something like the following:

2015-07-15 | 04:31 | 2015-07-29

to a relative time-stamp like

'About two weeks ago' | '20 minutes ago' | '3 days ago'.

What is the best approach to this in Java (Android SDK)?

Start from the top and check year->month->week->etc. – Emz Aug 01 '15 at 00:48 — Emz, Aug 01 '15 at 00:48
