Answer 3

pass your date of birth

public int getAge (int _year, int _month, int _day) {

    GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
    int y, m, d, a;         

    y = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    m = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
    d = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    cal.set(_year, _month, _day);
    a = y - cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    if ((m < cal.get(Calendar.MONTH))
                    || ((m == cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)) && (d < cal
                                    .get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)))) {
            --a;
    }
    if(a < 0)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Age < 0");
    return a;
}
