Current Time in millisecs

[jitman]

Hello,

I am trying to get current system time in millisecs and am using the below code.

long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

However, it gives me some different value (it appears it calculates number of millisecs that have passed since 1 Jan '1970)

I want to calculate the time in millisecs for only the single day e.g. Time 13:06should give me value as ((13*60*60) + (06*60))*1000 millisecs

Is there any standard java function that can help.

Thanks,

First of all, System.currentTimeMillis() may only be accurate to 10-15 milliseconds, depending on the OS and the hardware.

Use GregorianCalendar to get today's date and convert it to a long. Subtract that from currentTimeMillis.
