都是常用的日期之间的比较方法，供以后参考。

热身：获取当前时间

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");//设置日期格式
String nowDate = df.format(new Date());// new Date()为获取当前系统时间

我一直以为date类型不如string类型随心所欲 ，所以下面的比较都是string类型的date进行比较。如果你真的真的就是那么倔强，ok，下面是date转string的方法：

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");//设置日期格式
String date = df.format(Date类型的时间);

下面是正题：

    /**

        //获取昨日时间
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);
        String yesterday = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(calendar.getTime());
        Log.i("ListFragment - Date：",yesterday);
        return yesterday;
    }
