i wrote this method and i hope you find it useful

  
   public int daysDiff(Date d1, Date d2)
   {
 
    Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();
    
    c1.setTime(d1);
    c2.setTime(d2);
    
    int days = 0;
    if(d1.before(d2))
    {
    while(c1.getTime().before(c2.getTime()))
    {
     c1.add(Calendar.DATE,1);
     days++;
    }
    
    }
    else
    {
        while(c2.getTime().before(c1.getTime()))
        {
          c2.add(Calendar.DATE,1);
           days++;
        }
        
 
    }
    
    return days;
 
   
   }
