I am trying to convert a long value (The number of milliseconds elapsed from 1/1/1970) to a time of format h:m:s:ms
The long value I use as timestamp, I get from the field timestamp
of logging event from log4j.
How do I do the conversion?
For example to get the minutes I tried the following and all fail:
logEvent.timeStamp/ (1000*60*60) and
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(logEvent.timeStamp)
but I get garbage:
I get
1289375173771 for logEvent.timeStamp
358159 for logEvent.timeStamp/ (1000*60*60)
21489586 for TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(logEvent.timeStamp)
How can I convert this?
Thanks
Try this:
Date date = new Date(logEvent.timeSTamp);
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(\"HH:mm:ss.SSS\");
formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(\"UTC\"));
String dateFormatted = formatter.format(date);
See SimpleDateFormat for a description of other format strings that the class accepts.
See runnable example using input of 1200 ms.
long millis = durationInMillis % 1000;
long second = (durationInMillis / 1000) % 60;
long minute = (durationInMillis / (1000 * 60)) % 60;
long hour = (durationInMillis / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24;
String time = String.format(\"%02d:%02d:%02d.%d\", hour, minute, second, millis);
I\'ll show you three ways to (a) get the minute field from a long value, and (b) print it using the Date format you want. One uses java.util.Calendar, another uses Joda-Time, and the last uses the java.time framework built into Java 8 and later.
The java.time framework supplants the old bundled date-time classes, and is inspired by Joda-Time, defined by JSR 310, and extended by the ThreeTen-Extra project.
The java.time framework is the way to go when using Java 8 and later. Otherwise, such as Android, use Joda-Time. The java.util.Date/.Calendar classes are notoriously troublesome and should be avoided.
java.util.Date & .Calendar
final long timestamp = new Date().getTime();
// with java.util.Date/Calendar api
final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTimeInMillis(timestamp);
// here\'s how to get the minutes
final int minutes = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
// and here\'s how to get the String representation
final String timeString =
new SimpleDateFormat(\"HH:mm:ss:SSS\").format(cal.getTime());
System.out.println(minutes);
System.out.println(timeString);
Joda-Time
// with JodaTime 2.4
final DateTime dt = new DateTime(timestamp);
// here\'s how to get the minutes
final int minutes2 = dt.getMinuteOfHour();
// and here\'s how to get the String representation
final String timeString2 = dt.toString(\"HH:mm:ss:SSS\");
System.out.println(minutes2);
System.out.println(timeString2);
Output:
24
09:24:10:254
24
09:24:10:254
java.time
long millisecondsSinceEpoch = 1289375173771L;
Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochMilli ( millisecondsSinceEpoch );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.ofInstant ( instant , ZoneOffset.UTC );
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern ( \"HH:mm:ss:SSS\" );
String output = formatter.format ( zdt );
System.out.println ( \"millisecondsSinceEpoch: \" + millisecondsSinceEpoch + \" instant: \" + instant + \" output: \" + output );
millisecondsSinceEpoch: 1289375173771 instant: 2010-11-10T07:46:13.771Z output: 07:46:13:771
It is possible to use apache commons (commons-lang3) and its DurationFormatUtils class.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
</dependency>
For example:
String formattedDuration = DurationFormatUtils.formatDurationHMS(12313152);
// formattedDuration value is \"3:25:13.152\"
String otherFormattedDuration = DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration(12313152, DurationFormatUtils.ISO_EXTENDED_FORMAT_PATTERN);
// otherFormattedDuration value is \"P0000Y0M0DT3H25M13.152S\"
Hope it can help ...
long second = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis);
long minute = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis);
long hour = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis);
millis -= TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(second);
return String.format(\"%02d:%02d:%02d:%d\", hour, minute, second, millis);
public static String timeDifference(long timeDifference1) {
long timeDifference = timeDifference1/1000;
int h = (int) (timeDifference / (3600));
int m = (int) ((timeDifference - (h * 3600)) / 60);
int s = (int) (timeDifference - (h * 3600) - m * 60);
return String.format(\"%02d:%02d:%02d\", h,m,s);
Try this:
String sMillis = \"10997195233\";
double dMillis = 0;
int days = 0;
int hours = 0;
int minutes = 0;
int seconds = 0;
int millis = 0;
String sTime;
try {
dMillis = Double.parseDouble(sMillis);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
seconds = (int)(dMillis / 1000) % 60;
millis = (int)(dMillis % 1000);
if (seconds > 0) {
minutes = (int)(dMillis / 1000 / 60) % 60;
if (minutes > 0) {
hours = (int)(dMillis / 1000 / 60 / 60) % 24;
if (hours > 0) {
days = (int)(dMillis / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24);
if (days > 0) {
sTime = days + \" days \" + hours + \" hours \" + minutes + \" min \" + seconds + \" sec \" + millis + \" millisec\";
} else {
sTime = hours + \" hours \" + minutes + \" min \" + seconds + \" sec \" + millis + \" millisec\";
}
} else {
sTime = minutes + \" min \" + seconds + \" sec \" + millis + \" millisec\";
}
} else {
sTime = seconds + \" sec \" + millis + \" millisec\";
}
} else {
sTime = dMillis + \" millisec\";
}
System.out.println(\"time: \" + sTime);
Doing
logEvent.timeStamp / (1000*60*60)
will give you hours, not minutes. Try:
logEvent.timeStamp / (1000*60)
and you will end up with the same answer as
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(logEvent.timeStamp)
long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(timeInMilliseconds);
long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(timeInMilliseconds - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours));
long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
.toSeconds(timeInMilliseconds - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(minutes));
long milliseconds = timeInMilliseconds - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours)
- TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(minutes) - TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(seconds);
return String.format(\"%02d:%02d:%02d:%d\", hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
