title: How can I find the number of years between two dates?
body: <p>I am trying to determine an age in years from a certain date.  Does anyone know a clean way to do this in Android?  I have the Java api available obviously, but the straight-up java api is pretty weak, and I was hoping that Android has something to help me out.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: The multiple recommendations to use Joda time in Android worries me a bit due to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5059663/android-java-joda-date-is-slow">Android Java - Joda Date is slow</a> and related concerns.  Also, pulling in a library not shipped with the platform for something this size is probably overkill.  </p>
