How to get the current UTC time in seconds

I have an application, which needs to compare the time in seconds.

开发者_如何学运维I want to know how to get the current UTC time in seconds.

Can some one post an example of it how can we do this in Java?


You can use this to get timezone passing in timezone you want time back in

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); 

Then you can call whatever you want on the calendar object

System.out.println(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
System.out.println(cal.get(Calendar.HOUR));
System.out.println(cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
System.out.println(cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE));

Below example to compare two calendars in seconds

Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

// Set the dates for calendars
cal1.set(2011, 1, 1);
cal2.set(2011, 2, 2);

// Get the represented date in milliseconds as a long
long milis1 = cal1.getTimeInMillis();
long milis2 = cal2.getTimeInMillis();

// Calculate difference in milliseconds
long diff = milis2 - milis1;

// Calculate difference in seconds
long diffSecs = diff / 1000;

System.out.println("In seconds: " + diffSecs + " seconds");


System.currentTimeMillis()


 public static  long getUtcTime(long time) {
    System.out.println("Time="+time);
     SimpleDateFormat format=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
       Date dbefore=new Date(time);
       System.out.println("Date before conversion="+format.format(dbefore));
      Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
       c.setTimeInMillis(time);
          TimeZone timezone = c.getTimeZone();
        int offset = timezone.getRawOffset();
        if(timezone.inDaylightTime(new Date())){
            offset = offset + timezone.getDSTSavings();
        }
        int offsetHrs = offset / 1000 / 60 / 60;
        int offsetMins = offset / 1000 / 60 % 60;

        System.out.println("offset: " + offsetHrs);
        System.out.println("offset: " + offsetMins);

        c.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, (-offsetHrs));
        c.add(Calendar.MINUTE, (-offsetMins));

        System.out.println("Date after conversion: "+format.format(c.getTime()));
      System.out.println("Time converted="+c.getTime().getTime());
         return c.getTime().getTime();


    }


Joda makes everything simple

import org.joda.time.ReadableInstant;
import org.joda.time.DateTime;

import static org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.UTC;
import static org.joda.time.Seconds.secondsBetween;

...

ReadableInstant start = new DateTime("2011-01-01", UTC);
ReadableInstant end = new DateTime("2011-02-02", UTC);

int secondsDifference = secondsBetween(start, end).getSeconds();


Get current UTC time in seconds (since 1.5) :

TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(System.currentTimeMillis())

according to Javadoc:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#currentTimeMillis

Returns:

the difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.


To store the date as an integer instead of long, you can divide by 1000 and optionally subtract by another date, such as Jan. 1 2019:

private int getUTC()
{
    Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
    cal1.set(2019, 1, 1);
    long millis1 = cal1.getTimeInMillis();

    //Current date in milliseconds
    long millis2 = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(System.currentTimeMillis());

    // Calculate difference in seconds
    long diff = millis2 - millis1;
    return (int)(diff / 1000);
}


This works:

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
    GregorianCalendar gregorianCalendar = new GregorianCalendar
    (
        calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR),
        calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
        calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),
        calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY),
        calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE),
        calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND)
    );
    return gregorianCalendar.getTime();
