But I want the GMT date in milliseconds.

Thanks In Advance.

Answer 1

Use Calendar#getTimeInMillis:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
long time = cal.getTimeInMillis();

Answer 2

You can use System.currentTimeMillis() it returns "the difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC."

long time = System.currentTimeMillis();

Will do it :)

Answer 3

Use the Calendar Class to create an instance with GMT as the timezone.

From that you can get the time in milliseconds.

see below code sample.

public class TimeTest {

    public static void main(String [] args) {
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
        System.out.println(cal.currentTimeMillis());

    }
}

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Use getTime() function:

Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this Date object.
