Checking a Date is within a month of the current Date

You haven't really defined your problem enough. Is that all dates within 30 days, 31 days, 28 days? Or are you saying that if it is the 5th of Feb, then I'm interested in all before 5th of March?

You can use the java.util.Calendar class to do date "arithmetic" and then getDate objects which you can compare... Post some code and we'll help you

I know I'm reviving an old thread now. I just happened to look at my code again and think it was unnecessarily complicated. So here's a new attempt (not thoroughly tested):

public static boolean withinAMonth(Date d)

{

// System.out.println(DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(d));

Calendar thisDayOfMonth = new GregorianCalendar(); // today

Calendar test = new GregorianCalendar();

test.setTime(d);

if (test.before(thisDayOfMonth))

{ return false;

}

thisDayOfMonth.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1); // go to same day next month

return ! test.after(thisDayOfMonth);

}
