Joda time, Period to total millis

Question

I\'m trying to get the total amount of Milliseconds (not the millis field) from the Period object instance. I\'ve tried multiple conversions, as I couldn\'t fi

Answer 1

If you want to get the millis from a specific time it can be done by using the plus() or minus() methods of the DateTime class.

e.g. getting the millis from now

 DateTime start = new DateTime();  //NOW
 DateTime end = start.plus();
 long millis = end.getMillis() - start.getMillis();
