Current time in milli seconds

Hi,
I am trying to calculate number of milli seconds.from 1970. As it is giving 13 digit numbers. where as in UNIX it is giving 10 digit number.
here is my code.
System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis());
why this much of difference in from one os to another os
regards,
ram

Hi,

when i excute, the following code in windows environment, i am getting 1202918837843 number of milliseconds(14)
why this much of difference
System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis());
So you're not executing the same code in both environments.
It seems exceedingly likely "timestamp" returns seconds, not milliseconds. Why do you insist it returns milliseconds?

To get the current time

Hi All,
I wanted to know if there is anything like getcurrtime() in JAVA to get the current time.
Right now what i am doing is creating a new Date object and then calling getTime() on that new object.
One more question. when you call the getTime() function on an object does it give the time of creating of the object or the current
time.
Thanks in advance,
Amitabh

AmitabhHola!
You can use
long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
to get the current time in milli seconds (since 1970) :)
If you need a formatted String with the time, you can use:
java.text.DateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss"); // "HH:mm:ss", for example
String formattedTime = df.format(new Date());
And when you use the method "getTime()", it returns the Date creation time (because the object is initialized to that time when created)
Hasta pronto!

Need milli seconds part in XSLT Date Function current-dateTime()

Hi All,
I am calling date function, current-dateTime() in XSL. The output format is 2012-04-05T16:38:01-07:00 (Without milli seconds)
How to get the milli seconds part...?

Sudheer

Hi Arik....
At last i got it. :)
Followed the below steps.
Step1:
Created a String variable "currentDateTimeValue" in BPEL.
Step2:
I have used the below code in JavaEmbedding in BPEL.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat();
//Date Pattern looks lil weird. But some Web service accepts only this format.
sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-00:00'");//2012-04-14T16:24:00.578-00:00
String formattedDate = sdf.format(new java.util.Date());
addAuditTrailEntry("Formatted datetime string is: " + formattedDate);
setVariableData("currentDateTimeValue", formattedDate);
Step3:
Created a Simple XSD with an element "DateElement" of String type.
Step4:
Assigned "currentDateTimeValue" value to "DateElement" element, in Assign activity.
Step5:
Now added this DateElement in Transformation activity, as a second source variable. Mapped this data to the required target element in my XSL.
uh-huh I got the output...
Thanks a ton ARIK :D u r really helpful...

Get Time Stamp will milli seconds from string time stamp format

Hi Guys,
I am trying to get the time stamp with milli seconds value from string format time data,
Attached the snippet (Get milli seconds to Time stamp)I tried.
Attached Sub VI Convert string to time stamp
When run,I am not getting the time string indicator with milli seconds value even though the format have <%2u> .
please guide me on this.
..AND Finally i will be converting the date and time string output to time stamp data type

How to get current time in seconds

Can someone please tell me how to get the current time in seconds. I am currently doing as follows but not sure if its correct or best way:
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
long currentTimeInSeconds = cal.getTimeInMillis()/1000;

What about the day what you switch between standard time and daylight savings time?

How to get GMT time in Millis?!

Hello,
I'm trying to get the currentime in millis as per GMT timezone.
GregorianCalendar c = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
                    java.util.Date d = c.getTime();
                    timeNow = new Timestamp(d.getTime());This is just one of the attempts. Could someone point me out with code, without having to use Joda Library?

right, but actually one needs not to be bothered about the DB. The question is simple:
I've a Timestamp in GMT (a).
I want to compare it to the current time. How to do?
I can convert a into millis.
Now how can I get in millis what's the time in GMT??
I thought this would work:
Calendar c = GregorianCalendar.getInstance(tz);
                    c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
                    c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
                    long cc = c.getTimeInMillis();
Timestamp result = Timestamp.valueOf(rs.getObject(sessionStartTimeColumn.getName()).toString());
                    result.setNanos(0);
                    result.setSeconds(0);
                    long rr = result.getTime();
                    assertEquals(cc,rr);But the problem, persists, c.getTimeInMillis() will not give the millis as if in GMT. So that's the real problem, that's breaking my nerves. I understand why it's happening, but no way around??
Can someone tell me how to get the millis that someone in GMT would get using System.currentTimeMillis()??
PS: I don't use rs.getTimestamp() because the JDBC I'm using seems to have a bug there.

ICal (Calendar.app) - Is My Current-Time Marker Missing? Feature Dropped?

Hello iCalers,
I recently made the switch to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. I was quite a fan of iCal in Snow Leopard—it was one of the reasons I downgraded to Snow Leopard from Lion—but since I have a newer computer that doesn't allow Snow Leopard, and I've got Mountain Lion set up pretty well for me, I'm sticking with Mountain Lion.
My standard view for things in iCal is "Weekly." In Mountain Lion's incantation, I don't see the red marker that scrolls downwards, the one that corresponded to the current time. I'm wondering: was this feature dropped in Lion/Mountain Lion, or is mine buggy, or is it an out-of-the-way preference somewhere? I peeked in some .plists and com.apple.iCal files—I laugh that Apple still calls it "iCal" at the programming end—but I couldn't see any obvious mention of that time-of-day marker.
Any ideas?
I liked it a lot—enough to open a discussion about it!

Thanks John M,
It indeed worked when I made a new user account, so I trashed and deleted my <user>/Library/Calendars folder, as well as <user>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist—(backing them up elsewhere beforehand, in case something terrible happened), then re-set-it-up. (Holy cow it's easy to work with iCal after iCloud—literally seconds when it used to be at least a couple of minutes using Google Apps caldav or making an ical backup file and restoring calendars + fixing buggy events). It seems to be all good now.
A few times in my OS X history I've had issues come up where something is busted and I make a new user account that demonstrates that it's not busted universally. I hadn't even thought of doing that this time. Thanks for the idea!
May your days be merry and bright!

List "View" with current time in column

Hi.
I know that list view does not support fields calculated on page load. But I have to realize such functionality.
Can someone provide options for realizing this?
"Hack" some internal SQL query, inject JS on a view page, use .NET code somehow?
Using JS seems as the best solution, but how can I do this?

How to check whether current time satisfies the schedule?

I am working on a task, which is opposite of cron tab. My application is in groovy but can call all Java api. Can you please provide some pointers?
User is allowed to schedule a rule to be executed the way crontab gives the options. For example he wants the rule to be executed from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.
I cans schedule in crontabe or Quartz. At run time I have to match, whether the current time satisfy the time condition entered by user.
I may have to store this information in the database the way we put in the cron. Eg. my tables will have following
Id|| Policy Id|| seconds|| minutes|| hours|| Day|| Date|| month|| year
1 || 5 || 1 || 1 || 8-17 || M-F||? || * ||*
Now while my code is getting executing, how can I match whether the current time matches the condition mentioned above.
Thanks in advance.

How do I create a text insertion of the current time? My "date

My "date & time" stamp under Insert only prints the date. I can edit it to include the time each time I use it, but this is a real bother, as I use it often and want the time included. Actually I want a separate time stamp to keep track of time spent on specific projects. If there is no separate time stamp in Pages (hard to believe), can I create one that will print the current time without including the date? Second best: edit the "date & time" to always and automatically include the time?

Right click on the date after inserting > Edit Date & Time > Choose the Time only option
There is no way I know to have it default to this unfortunately.
You can try inserting the start time and have an updating time in a Table and calculate the difference, but the problem is the update only happens on reopening the document, not on saving.
You are better off using Billings to do all this for you:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/35188/billings-pro
There are several programs like Billings, also check out the Mac App Store.

Getting the current time and comparing it to a time in the future

Hello,
I am seeing in my research some debate on the best way to get the time. I am reading that just using the Date class and calling getTime() is not the most reliable way to do things. Overall, I am trying to get the current time down to the millisecond. I then want to add 5 seconds to that time and then store that value. FInally, when the current time is greater or equal to this stored value, I want to continue on in my program. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to calculate the time variable? Any help would be much appreciated. I am new to the JAVA world.
Thanks,
Tim

To store the current time, simply use new java.util.Date(). Yes, there might be slight inconsistencies and it might not be the most accurate time possible, but without significant additional effort (perhaps a native O/S call or the use of another time library), you will not do much better. Calendar won't help in this instance either. The easiest way to get five seconds in the future is to do the following:
Date now = new Date();
Date future = new Date(now.getTime() + 5000);To store and retrieve the value, it depends on what you are doing. You can place it in the database via JDBC (BTW, if you trust the database timestamp more than Java's you can use something like Oracle's SYSDATE instead of Java's date in your SQL query). You can place it in the filesystem. You can store it in the user's session.

How can i get current time of a given timezone

how can i get current time of a given timezone
for example: Asia/Hong_Kong
my code is like this, but the result is not correct.
what's wrong?
import java.util.*;
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args){
          String s = "Asia/Hong_Kong";
          String tempS = "";
          TimeZone myTime = new SimpleTimeZone(s);
          //TimeZone myTime = TimeZone.getTimeZone(s);
          Calendar myCal = new GregorianCalendar(myTime);
          tempS = myCal.get(Calendar.YEAR)+"-"+
                    (myCal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+"-"+
                    myCal.get(Calendar.DATE)+" "+
                    (myCal.get(Calendar.HOUR)+":"+
                    myCal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)+":"+
                    myCal.get(Calendar.SECOND);
          System.out.println(tempS);
output is : 2001-7-15 11:16:48
but the correct time should be: 2001-8-16 7:17:48
the correct time should be 2001-8-16

Certain indexes in the Calendar API start at 0 rather then 1, so, when you get the value, you may want to increment.
I'm not sure why the time is incorrect. You may want to call getAvailableIDs() and make sure that the desired TimeZone ID is supported by your version. I doubt that Sun would have incorrect support for the time zone, but it may not be included, or perhaps it is included with a diffrent ID. You can always create your own time zone as well, by passing the String offset to getTimeZone(), the offset being how many hours beyond or before GMT. Hopefully this helps.

Display current time in forms6

Hi listers ,
How can I display the current time at forms
runtime ???What i meant to tell is that I want to show the user the current time in this format : HH:MI:SS with the seconds being updated as per clock .....
Any response will be appreciated ....
Regards

You have to create a time in the trigger
When-New-Form-Instance
declare
MyTimer Timer;
begin
MyTime := Create_Timer('ContinuousTime', 1000, repeat);
end;
Also you should have a display item on a control block (control.UserTime)
Finally, in the When-Timer-Expired trigger write the following code
begin
:Control.UserTime := To_Char(sysdate, 'HH:MI:SS');
end;
Hope this help you
