title: Android Java - Joda Date is slow in Eclipse/Emulator -
body: <p>I am trying to find a set of date functions.  Looks like the Joda </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.joda.org/joda-time/" rel="nofollow">http://www.joda.org/joda-time/</a></p>
  
  <p>Does everything I need, but when I call a simple </p>
  
  <pre><code>DateTime dt = new DateTime();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it hangs the Eclipse or Emulator for about 15 seconds. </p>
  
  <p>I must be doing something wrong as I haven't found anyone else complaining about it being slow.</p>
  
  <p>Short of the Joda jar anyone had a datediff() code sample?</p>
