getDatesBetween

This code will return a list of date in the long formate, for example: Fri May 16 14:13:38 CDT 2008

public static List getDatesBetween(Date fromDate, Date toDate) { Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); List dateList = new ArrayList(); if (fromDate.before(toDate)) { Date dateCounter = fromDate; dateList.add(fromDate); while (dateCounter.before(toDate)) { calendar.setTime(dateCounter); int nextDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE) + 1; calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, nextDate); dateCounter = calendar.getTime(); dateList.add(dateCounter); } } else if (!fromDate.before(toDate) && !fromDate.after(toDate)) { dateList.add(fromDate); } return dateList; }

Test:

public void test_DatesBetween(){ Date fromDate = DateHelper.incrementDays(new Date(), -4); Date toDate = new Date (); log.warn(DateHelper.getDatesBetween(fromDate, toDate)); }
