Java code for getting current time [duplicate]

Answer 1

I understand this is quite an old question. But would like to clarify that:

Date d = new Date() 

is depriciated in the current versions of Java. The recommended way is using a calendar object. For eg:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date currentTime = cal.getTime();

I hope this will help people who may refer this question in future. Thank you all.

Answer 2

Like said above you can use

Date d = new Date();

or use

Calendar.getInstance();

or if you want it in millis

System.currentTimeMillis()
