I need to display Month in 2 digits. eg. 01 for Jan, 02 for Feb, 03 March and so on and date also in 2 digits - 01, 02, 03, 04...09.
Also I have to extract the last 6 digits for milliseconds
long S = System.currentTimeMillis(); - This returns 13 digits.
I tried to use length() with an int variable. I get the following error
The primitive type int of <variable> does not have a field length
Please help. Thanks
long is a primitive element which does not have any properties
> long S = System.currentTimeMillis(); - This returns 13 digits.
This returns a long if you convert it to a String it may be displayed with 13 digits.
> long S = System.currentTimeMillis(); - This returns 13 digits.
> Also I have to extract the last 6 digits for milliseconds
? That are milliseconds
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("SSS");
// returns the milliseconds of the current Date
// (new Date()).getTime() returns the same as System.currentTimeMillis()
String currentMillis = format(new Date());
// returns the current month in two digit format
DateFormat month = new SimpleDateFormat("MM") ;
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
for details about the SimpleDateFormat patterns.
andi
System.currentTimeMillis() returns a UTC time - number of milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970.
Taking the last 6 digits of that doesn't really mean anything.
Number of milliseconds in a day is normally 60 * 60 * 1000 = 3600000.
That is seven digits long.
What is it that you think the last 6 digits mean that you need to get it?
long S = System.currentTimeMillis();
String last6Digits = "" + S;
last6Digits = last6Digits.substring( last6Digits.length()-6, last6Digits.length();
int ssss = Integer.parseInt(last6Digits);
But I still don't know what it means.
