"It's been a while" "It's been a long time" same meaning?
Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand

Both meant pretty much the same. " a long time" may seem longer than " a while" though.

they can be similar meaning but "it's been a while" is used when the time hasn't been as long as "it's been a long time."
Hope this helps! :)
