java.util.date

Since the java.util.Date object stores Date as 2014-01-24 17:33:47.214 , but I want the Date format as 2014-01-24 17:33:47 . I want to remove the milliseconds part. I checked a question related to my question... How to remove sub seconds part of Date object I've tried the given answer long time = date.getTime(); date.setTime((time / 1000) * 1000); but I've got my result Date format as 2014-01-24 17:33:47.0 . How can I remove that 0 from my Date format??? Basic answer is, you can't. The value returned by Date#toString is a representation of the Date object and it carries no concept of format

I am using an API which requires a date parameter as a number of seconds, an int . My problem is that I currently store this time in java.util.date and I was wondering if there is some way to convert the java.util.date variable to seconds so that I can fit it into the int parameter which the API requires? import java.util.Date; ... long secs = (new Date().getTime())/1000; ... Please see - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#getTime() java.util.Date.getTime() it returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this Date object. java

Is it possible to do that? If yes, then how do I do the conversion from Joda-Time to Date and vice versa? To convert Java Date to Joda DateTime :- Date date = new Date(); DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(date); And vice versa:- Date dateNew = dateTime.toDate(); With TimeZone , if required:- DateTime dateTimeNew = new DateTime(date.getTime(), timeZone); Date dateTimeZone = dateTime.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay(timeZone).toDate(); You haven't specified which type within Joda Time you're interested in, but: Instant instant = ...; Date date = instant.toDate(); instant = new Instant(date); // Or...

I am trying to set a server agnostic date time in my database and I believe the best practice to do so is to set a UTC DateTime. My db server is Cassandra and the db driver for Java understands only the Date type. So assuming that in my code I am using the new Java 8 ZonedDateTime to get the UTC now ( ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC) ), how can I convert this ZonedDateTime instance to the "legacy" Date class? Slim Soltani Dridi You can convert ZonedDateTime to an instant, which you can use directly with Date. Date.from(java.time.ZonedDateTime.now().toInstant()); tl;dr java.util.Date.from( //

I want to get the current UTC time in millis. I searched google and got some answers that System.currentTimeMillis() does returns UTC time. but it does not. If I do following: long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis(); long t2 = new Date().getTime(); long t3 = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis(); all three times are almost same ( difference is in milli seconds due to calls ). t1 = 1372060916 t2 = 1372060917 t3 = 1372060918 and this time is not the UTC time instead this is my timezone time. How can i get the current UTC time in android? All three of the lines you've shown will give the number

Here's my code: java.util.Date TODAY = new java.util.Date(); SimpleDateFormat SDF = new SimpleDateFormat( "YYYY-MM-DD" ); System.out.println ( SDF.format( TODAY ) );' And the result is: 2015-02-33 But today's date is 2015-02-02! What may be the reason behind this wrong output? What may be the reason behind this Wrong Output ? Your assumptions about the date format string are wrong, the output is correct . y Year Y Week year D Day in year d Day in month M Month in year m Minute in hour http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html Y Week year will usually give

String testDateString = "02/04/2014"; DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); Date d1 = df.parse(testDateString); String date = df.format(d1); Output String: 02/04/2014 Now I need the Date d1 formatted in the same way ( "02/04/2014" ). If you want a date object that will always print your desired format, you have to create an own subclass of class Date and override toString there. import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; public class MyDate extends Date { private final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); /* * additional constructors */

I have this date object: SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm"); Date d1 = df.parse(interviewList.get(37).getTime()); value of d1 is Fri Jan 07 17:40:00 PKT 2011 Now I am trying to add 10 minutes to the date above. Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(d1); cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 10); String newTime = df.format(cal.getTime()); Value of newTime changes to 2011-50-07 17:50 but it should be 07-01-2011 17:50 . It adds minutes correctly but it also changes month, don't know why! Aravind R. Yarram The issue for you is that you are using mm . You should use MM .
