How can I get the count of milliseconds since midnight for the current?

Question

Note, I do NOT want millis from epoch. I want the number of milliseconds currently on the clock.

So for example, I have this bit of code.

Date date2 = ne         


        

Answer 1

You can use java.util.Calendar class to get time in milliseconds. Example:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int milliSec = cal.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
// print milliSec

java.util.Date date = cal.getTime();
System.out.println("Output: " +  new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd-HH:mm:ss:SSS").format(date));

Answer 2

1. long timeNow = System.currentTimeMillis();
2. System.out.println(new Date(timeNow));

Answer 3

Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MILLISECOND);

Answer 4

I tried a few ones above but they seem to reset @ 1000

This one definately works, and should also take year into consideration

long millisStart = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();

and then do the same for end time if needed.

Answer 5

I did the test using java 8 It wont matter the order the builder always takes 0 milliseconds and the concat between 26 and 33 milliseconds under and iteration of a 1000 concatenation

Hope it helps try it with your ide

public void count() {

        String result = "";

        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

        long millis1 = System.currentTimeMillis(),
            millis2;

        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
            builder.append("hello world this is the concat vs builder test enjoy");
        }

        millis2 = System.currentTimeMillis();

        System.out.println("Diff: " + (millis2 - millis1));

        millis1 = System.currentTimeMillis();

        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
            result += "hello world this is the concat vs builder test enjoy";
        }

        millis2 = System.currentTimeMillis();

        System.out.println("Diff: " + (millis2 - millis1));
    }
