Answer 1

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date strDate = sdf.parse(date2);
if (yourdate1 > strDate.getTime()) {

}

Answer 2

You can use the Calendar Object for setting the values that you recive from the TimePicker and the convert them to Date Object:

    Calendar calendar1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar1.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
    calendar1.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
    calendar1.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, day);
    calendar1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
    calendar1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);

    Date date = new Date(calendar1.getTimeInMillis());

    Calendar calendar2 = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar2.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
    calendar2.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
    calendar2.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, day);
    calendar2.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
    calendar2.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);

    Date date2 = new Date(calendar2.getTimeInMillis());

And then make comparisions:

        date1.after(date2);
        //or
        date1.before(date2);
        //or
        date1.compareTo(date2);
