*48hrs Rule (Solution method)*

[Smith Jone]

You should understand to 48hrs = within 2 days :roll:
48hrs rule is not "MUST".
Fix Your Windows Date(or Linux Date and so on),and You can test this rule.

public boolean bookingTest(Object aSelectedData)  {
boolean result = false;
DataInfo temp = (DataInfo)aSelectedData;
String str = temp.getDate();
String [] cal = str.split("/");
int year = Integer.parseInt(cal[0]);
int month = Integer.parseInt(cal[1]);
int date = Integer.parseInt(cal[2]);
Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
c1.set(year,month-1,date);
Date today = new Date();
//difference between today and date available
long millis1 = c1.getTimeInMillis();
long millis2 = today.getTime();
long difference = millis1 - millis2;
long days = difference/(86400*1000);

if( (days >= 0) && (days <= 2) ) {
   result = true;
} else {
   result = false;
}
return result;
}

so do you guys actually ask for date of occupancy from user when they want to make a booking? and use this date to compare with the current system date to see if the difference is greater than 20 hours.

Smith,
You are right, a room is available if the rooms date field value is between the allowed interval(today, today + 2 days).

Edward,
You need to check each record before booking, you can find this in the specs.
I am not shore about this :

and use this date to compare with the current system date to see if the difference is greater than 20 hours.

I mean this is wrong !

I am sorry my mistake. Suppose to be 48 hours.

Actually my understanding of this 48 hours requirement is like this:

for example, a customer wants to be a booking on wednesday, but today's date is monday. Therefore it's greater than 48 hours and the program reject user to make this booking.

Am i correct?

thanks
