Thanks...

But i don't know how to compare dates and time. sorry, my programmer level is medium/low :oops:

. can you help me? :mrgreen:

the target is to get the date, hour and minute of the economic news and compare to local jforex time....if it is at the same day, hour and minute it's OK!!

Best regards

You compare the dates just like numbers, as they are given in milliseconds and represented by the long primitive data type. If you encounter any problems please post your example strategy and pin point what you don't know how to implement.

}
} else {
calendarNews = (ICalendarMessage) message;
List<ICalendarMessage.Detail> calendarNewsDetails = calendarNews.getDetails();

----> here. COMPARE IF THE ECONOMIC NEWS IS DELAY OR NOT

for (Detail newsDetail : calendarNewsDetails) {

You need to compare ICalendarMessage.getEventDate() with System.currentTimeMillis()

It is easier to check if there is, for example no more than 60 seconds between the two dates, i.e.:

boolean spanLessThanMinute = Math.abs(calendarNews.getEventDate() - System.currentTimeMillis()) < TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(60);

I think what jaime_1008 asked is how is it possible that in a forum post a code snippet is formatted, just like on the picture that was attached.
If this is indeed the question, you can use the code tags to make your comment formatted.
Start with [code*] and finish with [/code*], like this:

public int test(void) {
    return 0;
}

You should remove the * from the tags. I just placed it there so you can see the actual tag.
I attached a screenshot that was taken while the post was open, so you can see what I am talking about.

If this is not what you have asked, I am sorry to explain something boring
