I have created below method to get the milliseconds from 12 hour format time :
fun getMillisecondsFromTime(time: String): String {
val formatter = SimpleDateFormat("hh aa")
formatter.isLenient = false
val oldDate = formatter.parse(getLocaleTime(time,"hh aa"))
val oldMillis = oldDate.time
return "" + oldMillis
}
I am calling this method as below for four different times:
var strTime1:String = DateUtils.getMillisecondsFromTime("1 PM")//13 * 3600
var strTime2:String = DateUtils.getMillisecondsFromTime("2 PM")//14 * 3600
var strTime3:String = DateUtils.getMillisecondsFromTime("1 AM")//1 * 3600
var strTime4:String = DateUtils.getMillisecondsFromTime("2 AM")//2 * 3600
Result am getting is wrong. i.e. for 1 PM milliseconds should be 48600 But, am getting :
1 PM >>>>>: 45000000, should be 48600
2 PM >>>>>: 48600000, should be 50400
What might be the issue?
EDIT : getting local time as below :
fun getLocaleTime(date: String, timeFormat: String): String {
val df = SimpleDateFormat(timeFormat, Locale.ENGLISH)
df.timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")
val date = df.parse(date)
df.timeZone = TimeZone.getDefault()
val formattedDate = df.format(date)
return formattedDate
}
You need to get hours of the day using Calendar. And then multiply it with 3600. Like
fun getMillisecondsFromTime(time: String): String {
val formatter = SimpleDateFormat("hh aa")
formatter.isLenient = false
val oldDate = formatter.parse(getLocaleTime(time,"hh aa"))
// val oldMillis = oldDate.time
val cal = GregorianCalendar.getInstance()
cal.time = oldDate
val hourIn24Format = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)
return "" + (hourIn24Format * 3600)
}
Your current code is returning time in millies from milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT to the time you gave as input.
Note:
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve in this way, but this seems not a good way. If you can explain more about your requirements, I or any other can guide you for better ways.
