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;

How about this:
Date date = new Date();
Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
String s = formatter.format(date);
String patternStr = "\\:";
String[] fields = s.split(patternStr);
int secondsSinceMidnight= Integer.parseInt(fields[0]) * 3600 + Integer.parseInt(fields[1]) * 60 + Integer.parseInt(fields[2]);
What about the day what you switch between standard time and daylight savings time?

How to get current time and date??

How to get current time and date from my PC time and date to the java application??
i use java.util.* package but got error, that is:
- java.util.* and java.sql.* class are match
- abstract class cannot be instantiated
so what can i do, pls guide...thanks...

There is a method in the System class that will return the current system time. You could also instantiate a Date, Time, Timestamp, or Calendar object, all of which get created with the system time by default.
Don't import *. Import the specific classes you need.
Next time, post the actual text of the exceptions/compile errors. If you make people guess, most just won't bother.

How to get current time in TimesTen

I need to get the current timestamp of TimesTen DB located node, how can get it?
In PSQL, I can use built-in function now(), In Oracle, I can use LOCALTIMESTAMP, thanks. a lot.

Hi Vikas,
Firstly, the syntax you give
select to_char(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss.FF') as ts from dual;
does not work in Oracle DB - it gives an eror due to the '.FF' in the format string.
This syntax does work just fine in TimesTen (which is a little more tolerant).
However, this is not a very useful thing since the resolution of SYSDATE is 1 second and to accurately measure data fetch times you need accurate microsecond resolution. Also, you would need to take an average over many millions of measurements to get any degree of accuracy.
Realistically, this will be a very difficult thing to measure with any accuracy. Might I understand what you are exactly looking to achieve here? For the same amount of data, separateing 'fetch' from SQL execution, TimesTen in direct mode will return data much, much faster than an Oracle client/server connection wven when the client is on the same machine as oracle. For Tt client/server mode the data transfer performance will be very similar to that for Oracle.

How to get current time

Hi,
I would like to know how to get the current time (07H25 for instance).
Does someone know how to do it ?
Thanks in advance, Fred.

java.util.Date = new java.util.Date();
The above code produces an object which contains a timestamp (date and time) for the instance in which it was created.
To display it in any format you wish you would use the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class.

How to get current time in jsp page?

my problem is :-
i have a radio buttons with name as 9am, 11am ,1pm, 3pm , 5pm , 7pm , 9pm , 11pm , 1am , 3am ,5am 7am. what ever the current time may be the radio button of four hour plus than current time should be atomatically checked and previous radio buttons should be disabled. for example suppose current time is 11.02am than the radio button of 3pm should be automatically checked and previous radio buttons should be disabled.
please help me if u can?

This should work but it needs testing out around midnight ( not sure if it is 00:00 or 24:00):
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<html>
<head><title>Time Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<% Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
   c.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 4);
   int h = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY); %>
The current hour is <%= h %><br>
<% for (int i=0; i < 24; i++) { %>
   <input type=radio name=time <%= (i < h) ? "disabled" : ""%><%= (i == h) ? "checked" : ""%>><%= (i < 10) ? "0" : ""%><%= i %>:00<br>

How to get current time in GMT ?

hey all i want to get the current timestamp in GMT any ideas how to do that ?

java.sql.Timestamp does not have an explicit timezone. To quote the Javadoc, it is just "a thing wrapper round java.util.Date" Yup.
It has an implied timezone of UTC (same as GMT) and cannot be changed. I say again - it cannot be changed.I disagree. Though the definition is "millis since 1/1/1970 00:00:00.000 UTC", there's nothing in the object to reflect that it's 1/1/70 00:00 or that it's UTC. If the definition were changed tomorrow to "millis since 12/31/1969 16:00:00.000 PST", the class would not change at all. I wouldn't say that the identical class has an "implied TZ" of PST vs. UTC just by that change.
So while it's defined relative to a time in UTC, there's no TZ--implied or otherwise--that's part of the object.There is no field in Timestamp or Date that hold a Timezone so neither has an explicit* Timezone. The timezone is implied by the long value it holds being the defined as being the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC. Of course this is only by convention. One can insert any long value one wants in it and say that this is the offset since any arbitrary epoch in arbitrary units in an arbitrary timezone but then non of the helper classes such as SimpleDateFormat would function correctly since they interpret the long value as being milliseconds relative to 1/1/1970 UTC.
Of course if you were really really bored and really felt like doing something pointless you could re-define the units for the long value and define your own epoch and write your own Date helper classes.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time focusing on work now, and felt a little pointless ballsniffing pedantry would be refreshing. :-):-) I suggest a couple of strong cups of Typhoo (If someone hasn't already done so, maybe I should create a JTyphoo API). Much better for you than Java.

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.

How can i get current time in different TimeZone

Hi alls,
How can i get current time in different TimeZone.
I've tried
final Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(GMT0_TIME_ZONE);
final Date date = calendar.getTime();
but it returns current time in my time zone not in GMT0

a simple way would be:Sometimes gets you the right result (not during daylight saving), but always the wrong way.
I would strongly recommend getting into the habit of handling Dates correctly. A Date is a universal instant in time - the number of milliseconds since midnight GMT on 1 January 1970. That instant corresponds to various dates and times, depending on your time zone and the effect of daylight saving. You make that conversion of a universal instant to a localized date/time using Calendar and DateFormat.

How can we get current time date with resultset?

Dear All,
I have to insert current time date in the table.So,i need to get the current time and date with result set.So,I will first get the time date and then insert it into the table.
I know how can we get current time and date without resultset.i have created this function its working.But now i want to use this.mean using resultset i want to put in the table.
How can i do this?
public static String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
public static String now() {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);
return sdf.format(cal.getTime());
}

yuck. Why not simply set a "new java.sql.Date()" to the SQL parameter in question?

How to get system time from cRIO?

Hello,
I have an NI cRIO-9076 chassis with an NI-9467 GPS module and an NI-9234 module.
I've downloaded the FPGA Timekeeper application which synchronises the FPGA clock to the 1PPS GPS, this works well. What I want to do is create a trigger that at a pre-defined HH:MMS the system will start to acquire and log data from the Accelerometers connected to the NI-9234 module.
I have added the controls for the entry of the HH:MMS and calculated the time in seconds. I would like to compare the system clock once it is locked to the entered timestamp and then trigger.
As I only have a value that represents seconds in the day I need to calculate the offset from EPOCH to compare against the GPS time reference. I have read that the NI system clock runs from 01/01/1904 instead of the EPOCH 01/01/1970.
The question is how do I get the current system time so that I can compare it against the entered time? I only need seconds in the day = (HH * 3600) + (MM * 60) + (SS)
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Simon

You should use the Get Date/Time in Seconds VI which will return a timestamp. You can then format this timestamp using the Format Date/Time String to give you exactly the time format that you need. Then you can extract the numbers you need and do your math.

How to get Current row of ViewObject in the DoDML methode

Hi all
I have two ViewObject EmplyesView and DeptView
How to get Current row of ViewObject DeptView in the DoDML methode of EmplyesView

OK, we can play this game on and on...
I'll ask for a use case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_case) and you don't give any info we don't already know. After an other 10 posts we probably know what you real problem is and can give you the advice which you could have gotten in the fist place.
So please take some time and describe the problem as if you would ask your mother for help. Tell us how the data model is build and how the VO are related. Is there any input from an user involved? Which information from the other view do you need? How do you get to the doDML method? Is there a button in the ui involved?
