I'm writing an application which is based on javafx/hibernate. Now i have problem when i want to make new table with articles that are sold last 7/30/365 days (or custom date chosen).
- articles are stored in database with current date (
Date articleDate = new Date();
) - all articles are fetched from database when the program is started and they are in an
ObserveList
namedarticlesDBList
.
What i have tried so far:
ObserveList<ArticlesDB> sortForSevenDays =FXCollections.observableArrayList();
for(ArticleDB article: articleDBList) {
if() { //missing statement for comparing articles by date for past 7 days
sortForSevenDays.add(article);
}
}
On mkyong there are 3 possibilities in comparing
Date
in Java. In the comment section even the better choice (IF Javaversion < 8) of Joda-Time is presented.The simpliest Solution without Joda would probably be just to compare using
Calendar
:INFO: Just keep in mind, that this compares for exactly 7 days (incl. minutes etc.).
