I have android program that display the users comment using RecyclerView and CardView. And i have the TextView on every comment that display the time created in this format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z' and i want the time to be displayed like "1 minutes ago", Now, 1 month ago, ...

i tried to implement by using the following codes

SimpleDateFormat s = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
        sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
       // long time = s.parse("2016-01-24T16:00:00.000Z").getTime();
        long time = 0;
        try {
            time = s.parse(timeNow).getTime();
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        long now = currentTimeMillis();

        CharSequence ago = DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(time, now, DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS);

Anyone with an idea on how to implement this can help me.

Sorry, I got it Thanks anyway! – Knight Jul 15 '17 at 14:46
Your format fits an ISO 8601 instant. So I suggest you get ThreeTenABP and parse your strings into instant, then use `Duration.between()`. You may need some creative way to display your durations.
