Date difference in millisecond between two date, GregorianCalendar, Calendar, after(), befor(), getTimeInMillis().

public class HoriziontalScrollActivity extends Activity {
TextView txtV;
	Context cntx;
	
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        txtV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.idLabel);
        cntx = this;
        StringBuilder strBuild = new StringBuilder();
        Calendar firstDate = new GregorianCalendar(2011, Calendar.DECEMBER, 31);
        Calendar secondDate = new GregorianCalendar(2012, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);

        
        Boolean bDetermine = firstDate.after(secondDate);            // false
        strBuild.append("Is firsDate after secondDate? " + bDetermine + "

");
        bDetermine = firstDate.before(secondDate);                   // true
        strBuild.append("Is firsDate before secondDate? " + bDetermine + "

");
        
        
        long differenceInMillisecond = 0L;
         differenceInMillisecond = secondDate.getTimeInMillis()-firstDate.getTimeInMillis();
         // second == 1000 millisecond
         long second = differenceInMillisecond / 1000L;
         strBuild.append("Difference between two dates is: " + second + "

");
        
         txtV.setText(strBuild);

    }
  
}

Landscape - portrait orientation change:

boolean mbOrientationLandscape = true;
if(mbOrientationLandscape ){
	setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
	mbOrientationLandscape =false;
}else{
	setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
	mbOrientationLandscape =true;
}

If you change the package name, you have to add new package name in:

DictionaryProvider.java

public class DictionaryProvider extends ContentProvider {
    String TAG = "DictionaryProvider";

//    public static String AUTHORITY = "com.example.android.searchabledict.DictionaryProvider";
// change to your new package name
public static String AUTHORITY = "com.myweb.mysubdomen.searchabledict.DictionaryProvider";
    public static final Uri CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://" + AUTHORITY + "/dictionary");


// in AndroidManifest.xml
//change com.example.android to your package e.g. com.myweb.mysubdomen
<!-- Provides search suggestions for words and their definitions. -->
        <provider android:name="com.example.android.searchabledict.DictionaryProvider"
            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"
                  android:authorities="com.example.android.searchabledict.DictionaryProvider" />

        <!-- Points to searchable activity so the whole app can invoke search. -->
        <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"
                   android:value=".SearchableDictionary" />

// I change like this:
        <!-- Provides search suggestions for words and their definitions. -->
        <provider android:name=".DictionaryProvider"
            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"
                  android:authorities="cz.okhelp.android.searchabledict.DictionaryProvider" />

        <!-- Points to searchable activity so the whole app can invoke search. -->
        <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"
                   android:value=".SearchableDictionary" />

Do not forget change package name in all java class and xml/searchable.xml
In my project I changed like this:

<searchable xmlns:android="//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:label="@string/search_label"
        android:hint="@string/search_hint"
        android:searchSettingsDescription="@string/settings_description"
        android:searchSuggestAuthority="cz.okhelp.android.searchabledict.DictionaryProvider"
        android:searchSuggestIntentAction="android.intent.action.VIEW"
        android:searchSuggestIntentData="content://cz.okhelp.android.searchabledict.DictionaryProvider/dictionary"
        android:searchSuggestSelection=" ?"
        android:searchSuggestThreshold="1"
        android:includeInGlobalSearch="true"
        >
 </searchable>

Context context = getApplicationContext();
Drawable drawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.my_image);
// convert drawable to bitmap
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)drawable).getBitmap();
// convert bitmap to drawable
Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);
