Android: Displaying days since received message after 24 hours pass

Android: Displaying days since received message after 24 hours pass

I have implemented the following code in my Android app that splits the
the date/time value retrieved from SQL and displays the number of
minutes/hours since the message was received:
//Splits the date and time string retrieved from SQL into two separate
strings,
//and stores them into an array
String[] dt_array = m1.getTime().split(" ");
//String date = dt_array[0];
String time = dt_array[1];
//Splits the time into two strings, one for hours and one for
minutes, and stores them
//into an array
String[] timeSplit = time.split(":");
String hourString = timeSplit[0];
String minuteString = timeSplit[1];
//converts the new separate time strings to integer variables
int msgHour = Integer.parseInt(hourString);
int msgMinute =Integer.parseInt(minuteString);
Calendar currentTime = Calendar.getInstance();
//retrieves current hour and minute from device and stores in
separate ints
int currentHour = currentTime.get(Calendar.HOUR);
int currentMinute = currentTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int hoursSince;
int minutesSince;
String timeDisplay = null;
if (currentHour != 1)
{
//tells app to display minutes if message was received under
an hour ago
if(currentHour - msgHour < 1)
{
minutesSince = currentMinute - msgMinute;
//if only a minute has passed, text should read "1 minute
ago", otherwise use plural "minutes"
if (minutesSince == 1)
timeDisplay = minutesSince + " minute ago";
else
timeDisplay = minutesSince + " minutes ago";
}
else if (currentHour - msgHour >= 1)
{
hoursSince = currentHour - msgHour;
timeDisplay = hoursSince + " hours ago";
}
}
else
{
//for messages that were received at a 12th hour, if the hour
is currently 1, correctly displays 1 hour ago
if(msgHour == 12 && currentHour == 1)
{
hoursSince = 1;
timeDisplay = hoursSince + " hours ago";
}
}
What I want is to add a function that displays days since received if the
hour count goes above 24. I know this should be easy, but I'm not exactly
sure how to go about it on Android.
