                    String format,
                    boolean padWithZeros,
                    TimeZone timezone)

  Formats the time gap as a string, using the specified format. Padding the left hand side of numbers with zeroes is optional and the timezone may be specified.

  When calculating the difference between months/days, it chooses to calculate months first. So when working out the number of months and days between January 15th and March 10th, it choose 1 month and 23 days gained by choosing January->February = 1 month and then calculating days forwards, and not the 1 month and 26 days gained by choosing March -> February = 1 month and then calculating days backwards.

  For more control, the Joda-Time library is recommended.

  Parameters:

  startMillis - the start of the duration

  endMillis - the end of the duration

  format - the way in which to format the duration, not null

  padWithZeros - whether to pad the left hand side of numbers with 0's

  timezone - the millis are defined in

  Returns:

  the formatted duration, not null
