Java Problem Overview

How to get the millisecond time from date? I have the following code.

Date beginupd = new Date(cursor1.getLong(1));

This variable beginupd contains the format

> Wed Oct 12 11:55:03 GMT+05:30 2011

Now how to convert this format to the millisecond time in Long datatype? Any help is highly appreciated and thanks in advance...

Java Solutions

Solution 1 - Java

long millisecond = beginupd.getTime();

Date.getTime() JavaDoc states:

> Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT > represented by this Date object.

Solution 2 - Java

You could use

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(beginupd);
long millis = cal.getTimeInMillis();

Solution 3 - Java

date.setTime(milliseconds);

this is for set milliseconds in date

long milli = date.getTime();

This is for get time in milliseconds.

> Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

Solution 4 - Java

beginupd.getTime() will give you time in milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT till the time you have specified in Date object
