I been looking thru the Android API and been looking for a way to calculate the number of days between the current date and a future date. I'm pretty new to android and i havent done java in a few years. Whats the easiest method to calculate this?

The easiest way is to use the Joda Time Days class for this:

Date oldEventDate = ...
Date newEventDate = ...
Days days = Days.daysBetween(new DateTime(oldEventDate), new DateTime(newEventDate));
int numberOfDays = p.getDays();
