long date = ldg.MAX_VALUE;

It was kind of difficult to understand the question here. Long.MAX_VALUE always returns the maximum long value possible. If you wanted to get the maximum value returned by several calls to trialTime.getTime(), you could use Math.max(long, long)

something like

long max = Long.MIN_VALUE;

and everytime you call trialTime.getTime(), do this

max = Math.max(max, trialTime.getTime());

this way max will always contain the maximum value returned by trialTime.getTime()

dunno if this answered your question at all.
