Check if date is older than 10 years and newer than 20 years

Question

I am trying to check in Java 8 if a date is older than 10 years and newer than 20 years. I am using Date.before() And Date.after() and passing currentDate-10 years and currentDate-20 years as arguments.

Can someone please suggest what will the cleanest way to get a date which is 10 year old and 20 years old in Date format to pass it in my before() and after() methods?

Answer 1

You can use java.time.LocalDate to do this. Example: If you need to check if 01/01/2005 is between that duration, you can use

LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2005, 1, 1); // Assign date to check
LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();

if (date.isBefore(today.minusYears(10)) && date.isAfter(today.minusYears(20))) {
  //Do Something
}
