I got such an issue. I save a Date (yyyy,mm,dd). From this date I need to get its millisec representation, but when I call getTime() it gives me wrong time. Where is the issue?
Example :
Date testDate= new Date (2015,5,11);
When I try to call this date millisec, testDate.getTime()
result=61392117600000, but it must be result=1433970000000
Note : 5 means Jun, because it counts from 0
Because in the Date Class under package java.util; the date method add year from 1900 as
/**
* Constructs a new {@code Date} initialized to midnight in the default {@code TimeZone} on
* the specified date.
*
* @param year
* the year, 0 is 1900.
* @param month
* the month, 0 - 11.
* @param day
* the day of the month, 1 - 31.
*
* @deprecated Use {@link GregorianCalendar#GregorianCalendar(int, int, int)} instead.
*/
@Deprecated
public Date(int year, int month, int day) {
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(false);
cal.set(1900 + year, month, day);
milliseconds = cal.getTimeInMillis();
}
So you need to change
Date testDate= new Date (2015,5,11);
to
Date testDate= new Date (115,5,11);
Recommended way is to use SimpleDateFormat as given below.
