Converting Milliseconds to Minutes and Seconds?
I have looked through previous questions, but none had the answer I was looking for. How do I convert milliseconds from a StopWatch method to Minutes and Seconds? I have: watch.start(); to start the stopwatch and watch.stop(); to stop the watch. I later have watch.getTime(); which returns Milliseconds. I want it to return in Seconds and Minutes. How do I go about doing so? I'm looking for a way to do it without multiplying/dividing by 1000 but rather a method that will make the whole computation more readable and less error-prone. I would suggest using TimeUnit . You can use it like this: long
