How to compare user selected date with from and to date in Android?

Question

I want to compare user selected date with from date and to date. e.g.,

from date : 2017-25-07
to date   : 2017-31-07
Selected date : 2017-27-07

so now I want to check selected date is in the range between from date and to date.

you can compare three dates by below code

if(!fromDate.after(selectedDate) && !toDate.before(selectedDate)) {
  //fromDate <= selectedDate <= toDate
}

yes it is working Thank you – Akash Bandal Jul 25 '17 at 10:22
Since a `java.util.Date` holds both a date and a time-of-day, some tricky surprises may come out when the date it the same and the time-of-day is different. It will be easier and a lot less errorprone with `LocalDate`. To use it on Android, you need the ThreeTenABP, see [How to use ThreeTenABP in Android Project](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38922754/how-to-use-threetenabp-in-android-project). – Ole V.V.
