Adding minutes to a time in java.

So far I have
     Locale currentLocale= new Locale("en","CANADA");           Date today = new Date();
     DateFormat formatter =DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, currentLocale);           String date = formatter.format(today);
     DateFormat formatter1 =DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, currentLocale);           String time = formatter1.format(today);
this gives me a string "date" and a string "time" taken from my system clock.
What i want to do is add some minutes to "time".
How would i go about doing that. (adding X minutes)?

Nevermind, i got it.
for other who may want to know.
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
Date today = cal.getTime();                                                     
Locale currentLocale= new Locale("en","CANADA");                                                                                                  
DateFormat formatter =DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, currentLocale);  
String date = formatter.format(today);              
DateFormat formatter1 =DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, currentLocale);  
String time = formatter1.format(today);
time
System.out.println( date + " " + time);                                //origional date and time
cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE,20);
today = cal.getTime();
time = formatter1.format(today);  
System.out.println( date + " " + time);                                //date and time + 20 mins

  • Adding "5 Minutes" to a Time in Numbers

    In Excell I could enter a time in the first cell in a column, then in the rows below have a simple formula like A1+5, which would add five minutes to the time in each row. I could easily change the schedule by changing the start time or changing the number of minutes added in each subsequent row. How do I do this Numbers?

    I think it's easier in Numbers than in Excel.  In Excel I got this formula to work:
       =A2+1/24/12
    Had to do the math for what fraction of a day 5 minutes is.
    But using your approach in Numbers:
    Where a one-row parameters table can be used as the equivalent of a named range "constant" one might use in Excel.

    You can see that between 12:48am and 9:38am, the Server is pausing for a combined total of TWELVE MINUTES! Often for 2 whole minutes at a time, during which the Server is completely unresponsive.
    I have read Sun's GC tuning guide at http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc/index.html but it is not much help:
    It says "Pauses can be minimized by using a small young generation and incremental collection, at the expense of throughput."
    Well, I AM using incremental collection, and the young generation is the default size, which is quite small I believe. (32 MB max?)
    It also says "Unless you have problems with pauses, try granting as much memory as possible to the JVM. The default size (64MB) is often too small."
    Well I DO have problems with pauses, but I HAVE to allocate a ton of memory. The Server must support hundreds of simultaneous users, each with hundreds of K's of personal, dynamic, temporary data.
    It also says "Unless you find problems with excessive major collection or pause times, grant plenty of memory to the young generation. The default MaxNewSize (32MB) is generally too small."
    I AM having problems with excessive major collections and pause times, so according to this I should NOT grant more memory to young generation (eden).
    What am I left with? Nothing! I am totally out to lunch here. The box this is running on is a dual P3-600 with a gig of RAM and Red Hat 6.2, with Sun JRE 1.3.1_02. My startup command line options are:
    java -server -Xincgc -verbose:gc -Xms256M -Xmx900M
    What should I do? The Tuning guide essentially says to screw around with generation sizes, but none of its specific tips seem to apply to me! This is a production server and I am worried about making things worse by playing around, so I was hoping someone out there might have some experience with this and concrete advice before I just start messing around with the memory map. Should I increase the young generation size? Decrease it? Something else altogether? HELP!

    With default settings, I am getting horrible performance, under peak load, 25%-50% of server time is being spent with GC, approx. 11,000 minor GCs per hour! And a Full GC every hour or two which takes up several minutes. On average, I am losing 13.09 minutes per hour due to minor GC, and 54.5 seconds to major GC.
    I tried your settings, Chuck, and they seemed to be working beautifully at first... minor GCs were now occuring once every few minutes for a couple seconds, instead of 3 times per second for a tenth of a second. Minor GC were now taking 1.06 minutes per hour instead of 13.09, more than a 1300% improvement!
    HOWEVER...
    After 7 hours, the Server started getting REALLY slow for no apparent reason. It seemed almost as if reading from sockets was suddenly becoming extremely time intensive. Then I got a HUGE minor GC that took 25.6 seconds. [GC 507410K->478034K(551296K), 25.6328459 secs], then a couple minutes later, the Server CRASHED with this output:
    An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

    Yummy. Signal 11's really make my day fun :(. I tried restarting the Server, but it crashed again in the same way 15 minutes later. Then I switched back to default settings and it has run fine all weekend.
    The Sig11 makes me think either our C lib is buggy (our Linux distro is getting a bit old), or we have a physical memory problem. Odd that it only shows up when I tried your new settings though...

  • Converting time in java into different timezone

    i have a string of :
    String dateTime="200506010900";//2005 06 01
    this comments is what i meant abt the string. now after i have did a substring to get the time out, how do i convert the time into the GMT+8 timezone?
    -AhBoY84-

    i'm sorry as i'm to used to chat in msn for short form.
    by the way, i have tried some simple codes, but why after formatting the time, it become all zeros? below are my codes

  • Clock app adds a minute to the timer all by itself

    I would never believe it if I had not seen it. My boss told me that while using the timer on the clock app that it added a minute to the time as it was counting down all by itself. It seems to happen about 1 out of 6 times we tried it. We set the timer to 2 minutes and pressed start. It counted down to 1:53 then showed 2:52 and continued to count down to 0:00.
    Then I tried my phone and sure enough after a few tries mine did the same thing. I think mine was at 1:17 when it then jumped to 2:16 and continued to count down.
    His iPhone is a 3Gs 16Gb Black and mine is a 3Gs 32Gb Black. Both are running 3.1.
    If anyone has seen this before please let me know. Thanks!

    Just found this article. Looks like this problem has been around for a while...

  • Getting the current time using java.sql.Time

    I need to set the current time in a database field. I tried the following code (using my logic) to set the current time. But, I end up getting "Jan 1, 1970" in the time field in the database.
    Here is the code :
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    Java.sql.Time now = java.sql.Time.valueOf(
              cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + ":" +
              cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" +
              cal.get(Calendar.SECOND));
    What should I do to get the current time in the "now" variable? Right now, it ends up in the database as "Jan 1, 1970".
    Thanx in advance.

    Can you show me the code to do SimpleDateFormat?
    Assuming that I use the following skeleton to get the
    time value from the database, can you show me the
    code for the missing link (so as to display in the
    format "hh:mm:ss") ?
    java.sql.Time timeFromDb =
    obj.getActionTime();
    // The above code gets the "time" field from
    the database into "timeFromDb"
    // Use SimpleDateFormat to display the time
    java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new
    java.text.SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
    // Now what do I do with "sdf" and
    "timeFromDb" ?
    // Print out the time value
    System.out.printf("Time is : %s\n",
    .... );Hi,
    I don't know if you want 24h clock or not. This is the pattern for 24h clock.
    "HH:mm:ss"
    You get the text string by calling sdf.format(timeFromDb)

  • Galaxy Note II Unresponsive for minutes at a time

    I'm on my 3rd galaxy note 2.  My first one had an overheating problem that caused the battery to last for 2 hours even though it was idle.  They ended up replacing it for me.  My 2nd one was actually perfect.  I had zero problems with it for nearly a year until the day after the 4.3 update, the screen went off and never came back on.  I just got my replacement about a week ago and I'm having an issue with the screen becoming unresponsive for minutes at a time.
    I factory reset the phone yesterday thinking that maybe I had a rogue app installed but it seems that any time I try to launch a game or if I try to browse the internet while an app is updating, the phone is unusable for a few minutes.  It's like it can't multitask. Eventually it'll come back with the phone at my home screen with my background image gone, but eventually it comes back too. It's similar to when windows explorer crashes and it reloads. I'll go through the same process for 2 or 3 more times before the game finally launches or the internet browser is finally usable.
    Before I call this phone defective, I was wondering if it's a problem related to 4.3 that I should be aware of?  I installed a monitor and it looks like with no apps open, from a fresh reboot my ram is 50-80% used which doesn't leave much room for opening apps or playing games.  I even installed a virus protection and scanned for a virus (i know viruses on smartphones is a stretch) and it returned no issues.
    Any ideas?  I could factory reset it again, but I just did that last night and it didn't help still having the same problem with very minimal apps reinstalled.  One note, I factory reset it with the restore from backup functionality turned off, so the apps I did install were from scratch, not my google account.

    I decided to call in.  I tell the rep my problems and he tells me to launch the phone in safe mode. Done. I could reproduce the issue. It then says wifi unstable.  The phone freezes with wifi on. Tells me to turn the wifi off. No more freezing while in safe mode, I guess wifi is the problem didn't think that was an issue before. He tells me that wifi issues have been reported but none of those issues cause the phone to freeze, he said that samsung told them to tell customers to turn that feature (ie: wifi) off until the next software update. He said samsung is working on a fix for the wifi issues but said there's no eta. I asked him for his gut feel and he said phones that are newer than 18 months normally get priority, given that the note 2 was release in november of 2012 and we're in 2014, that he estimated 3-4 months for the next update. I know I can't hold him to that but even if he's right, I have to leave wifi off for 3-4 months?...Now to the best part, "Since there is no freezing with wifi off in safe mode, and in safe mode the phone behaves in the state samsung designed it to be in, I've determined that it's not a hardware or operating system issue, so there's nothing I can do for you. I'm sorry I couldn't send you a new phone or resolve this problem for you, I hope you find a solution for the software issue you're having, good night."
    Rather than get mad I realized I wouldn't get anywhere with him so I didn't try to push the issue. I know I have unlimited data so it's not that big of deal, but wouldn't you consider the phone not working regularly with wifi turned on a hardware or os system problem?  It's not like I can uninstall and reinstall wifi.  The drivers are embedded in the system and since it's a refurb phone, who's to say that the parts that were refurbed are really factory oem?
    Now I'm stuck with a phone that is unusable randomly for 3-5 minutes using the phone normally with the mobile network/wifi because the agent didn't consider the problem to be hardware or os related and the only way to keep it from having issues is to not turn on wifi and keep the phone in factory default settings.
    I'm not going to threaten to leave or go somewhere else because it would serve no purpose, maybe that's why there was no attempt made to help me other than saying no from the beginning of the conversation, but in my 15 years of being a loyal customer, you would think "i hope you find a solution on your own" would be after sending me a new device if the problem persisted. 

  • How to change system time through java program

    Hi
    I want to know, how to change system time through java program.
    give me a idia with example.
    Thanks

    There isn't any core Java API for this. Use JNI or call an external process with Runtime.exec().

  • Spinning wheel stays on for several minutes at a time, can't connect to app store

    Hi I have an imac, about two years old. It has recently started freezing constantly, can't connect to the app store and the rainbow spinning wheel stays up for several minutes at a time regardless of what apps are open or what I'm trying to do. Safari will work for a minute or two then will say it can't connect, I then have to quit the app then open it back up to have it fail again shortly after. I've cleared out my cache, started it in safe mode, done the disk repair through disk utility, done virus scans and nothing has helped. It started doing it suddenly - fine one day then not the next -  but I haven't put any new apps on or made any changes I can think of that might be the cause. Can anyone help?

    One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
    Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
    If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

  • How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options- Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time

    How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options->Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time. EVen if there is no way to backup, what is the system file for Firefox that stores these, so i can transfer this file or open it in an XML or similar editor to copy them out?

    The permissions.sqlite file stores 'allow' and 'block' exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and extensions (software) installation.

    i was mid facetime call and my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on until i plugged it in. then the date was wrong,it said no service, and wont let me turn wifi on. also it wont stay on for more than a few minutes at a time. Help?

    Sounds like a hardware failure.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

    My mac os frequently freezes for one to two minutes at a time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer 11.3 several times because I sometimes get a crash report on flashplayer. I would like other suggestions as to what more I can do.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
