YouTubeTimeStamps

Creating comments with timestamps like YouTube (java.util.Date or JodaTime)

This code is for a tutorial showing how you can create timestamped messages like the YouTube comments section. What this means is we will convert the timestamp (date) that each message has been saved at into a human readable and rounded format. For instance if today is 2016/02/14 17:00 and someone had commented at 2016/02/14:12:55 the message would be timestamped with "2 hours ago".

DateUtils from Android framemork

I also posted a comment on your blog post, but it seems to have disappeared, but I would like to know if you also looked at the DateUtils class from the Android framework, it seems to me that it does almost the same as this. Albeit maybe a bit less flexible. Or did you have any issues with it?

Convert To Kotlin?

Thank you for this awesome resource, was curious though could you convert this to Kotlin?
