Returning item using Date range

[Sege Stephen]

I have a program that return a list of items. every item retuned includes the date the item was published. I want to return a subset of the Items based on a fromDate and toDate. I don't know how to do that........ here is my code snippet

In my method i have the todate and from date defined:

Date _fromDate = readreq.getFromDate();
Date _toDate = readreq.getToDate();
 

 

 
List items = hand.getItems();

   System.out.println("ITEM SIZE: " + items.size());
      
   try 
 {
for (int i = 1; i <= readreq.getNumItems(); i++){
RSSItem item = (RSSItem)items.get(i);
System.out.println( item.getDate());
   
   Date itemDate;
     
   
      }
   }
   catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException iobe)
   {
   System.out.println("There are only " + items.size() + " Items to select from");
   }   

I know I have to use the after and before Date methods of from the DATE API, but I don't know how to do it. Date itemDate is what the item date returns, and if it returns 20 items from nov 1 - 20, 1 item per day, I want return something from nov 11 - nov 19, how do i do that?
