While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. – Lundin May 30 '13 at 07:32

I don't know if you have any direct api for this but you can do this,

String s1 = "8-11-2011";
String s2 = "8-12-2011";

String[] arr1 = s1.split("-");
String[] arr2 = s2.split("-");
for(int i = 0; i<arr1.length; i++){
Integer diff = Integer.valuof(arr1[i])-Integer.valueOf(arr2[i])// its just an idea. you may need if conditions here
}

and its not reliable..

We have the [*java.time*](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/time/package-summary.html) classes now, so need to bother with this kind of roll-your-own approach. For early Android, see [*How to use ThreeTenABP…*](http://stackoverflow.com/q/38922754/642706). – Basil Bourque Jan 30 '18 at 22:57
