This worked as expected

B4X: 
Dim check As Long=DateUtils.SetDateAndTime("2021","06","30",23,59,0)
This is what i did earlier..It also worked as expected.

When you start typing DateUtils.SetDate( you will see in the intellisense that it tells you the time will be 00:00:00
You were not comparing the 2 dates with respect to the same exact time slot of the day.
DateTime.Now means more than today. It means today plus the time you took the reading which changes every second

Ohk, i get you now. it's assumed that a new day has started due to the time part 00:00:00.
Thank you very much
