I am having two dates with times for example:

                 String dateStart = "01/14/2012 09:30:55";
        String dateStop = "01/15/2012 18:25:54";

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");

        Date d1 = null;
        Date d2 = null;

            d1 = format.parse(dateStart);
            d2 = format.parse(dateStop);

When I subtract: d2 - d1, I want to show the ela[sed time in between the above two dates in the format in HH:MM:SS: like i want the output something like:
33:05:01. How can I get in that format..? If anybody is having any idea please help me out...

There are several ways.
