Convert the times into secs and then calculate the difference and then reconstruct the time

If you need more details..let me know..

You'll need to write your own code to reconstruct the time. Seems to be a missing bit in the java time formatting.

Turn your time string into a Date object using a SimpleDateFormat. Then get the seconds from that.
Work out difference.
Write some of your own code to turn the seconds into a formatted string. If you use the standard
code I believe you'll get a date, sometime early in 1970.
