Date Handling Methods

Date handling methods can be found in com.crm.framework.util.DateUtil class.

Handling Java Dates

 Truncate Date

truncate(Date date) method returns the date rounded to the day with a time of 00:00:00:00. setEndOfDay(Date date) method returns the date rounded to the day with a time of 23:59:59:999.

Example
public DateRange getDateRange(Date fromDate, Date toDate){
	if (fromDate!=null && toDate!=null )
	{
		fromDate = DateUtil.truncate(fromDate);
		toDate = DateUtil.setEndOfDay(toDate);
		range = new DateRange(fromDate, toDate);
	}
		
	return range;
}
 Difference between two dates

getDateDiff( int calculationUnit, Date d1, Date d2 ) method returns the difference of the two dates in the given calculation unit. 

Example
public Boolean expired(Date fromDate, Date toDate, Integer daysValid){
	
	Integer numberOfDays = DateUtil.getDateDiff(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, fromDate, toDate);
	
	if(numberOfDays>daysValid)
	{
		return true;
	}
		
	return false;
}
 Add period of time to date

 add(Date date, int timeValue, UnitOfTime uot) method adds the given number(time value) of units to the given date.

Example
public Boolean getCompletionDate(Date startDate, Integer timeValue, UnitOfTime uot){
	
	Date completionDate = DateUtil.add(startDate, timeValue, uot);
		
	return completionDate ;
}

Alternatively, any of the following methods can be used if the unit of time is known and not given.

  4. addDays(Date date, int numberOfDays) method adds the given number of days to the given date.
  5. addHours(Date date, int numberOfHours) method adds the given number of hours to the given date.
