java – 计算Joda时间的月差

在第4行代码(忽略空白和评论)和超出我计算两个日期之间的月份差异.这个工作,但看起来有点黑客.有没有更好的办法？

int handleAllowance(LocalDate today) {

    int allowance = membership.allowance();
    if (allowance == 0) return 0;

    // if update was last month (or earlier)
    int months = today.monthOfYear().getMaximumValue() - today.monthOfYear().getMinimumValue(); // yeah,12,but just to be 100% correct :-)
    int curMonth = (today.getYear()               * months) + today.              getMonthOfYear();
    int updMonth = (lastAllowanceUpdate.getYear() * months) + lastAllowanceUpdate.getMonthOfYear();
    if (curMonth > updMonth) {

        // ...and if today is on or past update day
        int updateDay = Math.min(allowanceDay,today.dayOfMonth().getMaximumValue());
        if (today.getDayOfMonth() >= updateDay) {

            // number of months to give allowance (in the rare case this process fails to run for 2 months or more)
            int allowanceMonths = curMonth - updMonth;

            // give credits
            final int totalAllowance = allowance * allowanceMonths;
            giveCredits(totalAllowance);

            // update day
            lastAllowanceUpdate = lastAllowanceUpdate.plusMonths(allowanceMonths);

            // return the allowance given
            return totalAllowance;

        }

    }

    return 0;
}

解决方法

Months.monthsBetween(
     start.withDayOfMonth(1),end.withDayOfMonth(1)).getMonths()
