how to get the number of seconds passed since 1970 for a date value?

My question is: how to get this value in milliseconds for any date ?

Solution

  • Calendar c = new Calendar();

    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    // year, month, day, hourOfDay, minute
    c.set(1990, 7, 12, 9, 34);
    long millis = c.getTimeInMillis();
