Java: convert seconds to minutes, hours and days [duplicate] - java

This question already has answers here:
Convert seconds value to hours minutes seconds?
(22 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
The task is:
The output should look like this (it is a good idea to echo back the input): You entered 500,000 seconds, which is 5 days, 18 hours, 53 minutes and 20 seconds. (5 days 18:53:20 hours)
How should I do it? What is the easiest way to understand and do it?
Also the instructor said "no hard coding" which I'm not exactly sure what is, but I think he wants us to assign them constants.

An example using the built-in TimeUnit.
long uptime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long days = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
.toDays(uptime);
uptime -= TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(days);
long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
.toHours(uptime);
uptime -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours);
long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
.toMinutes(uptime);
uptime -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(minutes);
long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
.toSeconds(uptime);

With basic Java arithmetic calculations:
First consider the following values:
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 3600 seconds (60 * 60)
1 day = 86400 second (24 * 3600)
First divide the input by 86400. If you you can get a number greater than 0, this is the number of days.
Again divide the remained number you get from the first calculation by 3600. This will give you the number of hours.
Then divide the remainder of your second calculation by 60 which is the number of minutes
Finally the remained number from your third calculation is the number of seconds
The code snippet is as follows:
int input = 500000;
int numberOfDays;
int numberOfHours;
int numberOfMinutes;
int numberOfSeconds;
numberOfDays = input / 86400;
numberOfHours = (input % 86400) / 3600 ;
numberOfMinutes = ((input % 86400) % 3600) / 60
numberOfSeconds = ((input % 86400) % 3600) % 60;

It should be like:
public static void calculateTime(long seconds) {
int day = (int)TimeUnit.SECONDS.toDays(seconds);
long hours = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds) - (day *24);
long minute = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) -
(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds)* 60);
long second = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(seconds) -
(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) *60);
System.out.println(
"Day " + day + " Hour " + hours + " Minute " + minute +
" Seconds " + second);
}
Explanation:
TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds) will give you direct conversion from seconds to hours with out consideration for days. Minus the hours for days you already got i.e., day24*. You now got remaining hours.
The same for minute and second. You need to subtract the already got hour and minutes, respectively.

The simplest way:
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter seconds ");
int s = in.nextInt();
int sec = s % 60;
int min = (s / 60) % 60;
int hours = (s / 60) / 60;
System.out.println(hours + ":" + min + ":" + sec);

Have a look at the class:
org.joda.time.DateTime
This allows you to do things like:
old = new DateTime();
new = old.plusSeconds(500000);
System.out.println("Hours: " + (new.Hours() - old.Hours()));
However, your solution probably can be simpler:
You need to work out how many seconds in a day, divide your input by the result to get the days, and subtract it from the input to keep the remainder.
You then need to work out how many hours in the remainder, followed by the minutes,
and the final remainder is the seconds.
This is the analysis done for you, and now you can focus on the code.
You need to ask what s/he means by "no hard coding". Generally it means pass parameters, rather than fixing the input values. There are many ways to do this, depending on how you run your code. Properties are a common way in Java.

You should try this
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Time_converter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
int seconds;
int minutes;
int hours;
System.out.print("Enter the number of seconds: ");
seconds = input.nextInt();
hours = seconds / 3600;
minutes = (seconds % 3600) / 60;
int seconds_output = (seconds % 3600) % 60;
System.out.println("The time entered in hours,minutes and seconds is:");
System.out.println(hours + " hours: " + minutes + " minutes: " + seconds_output + " seconds");
}
}

You can use the Java enum TimeUnit to perform your math and avoid any hard-coded values. Then we can use String.format(String, Object...) and a pair of StringBuilder(s) as well as a DecimalFormat to build the requested output. Something like,
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter a number of seconds: ");
String str = scanner.nextLine().replace("\\,", "").trim();
long secondsIn = Long.parseLong(str);
long dayCount = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toDays(secondsIn);
long secondsCount = secondsIn - TimeUnit.DAYS.toSeconds(dayCount);
long hourCount = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(secondsCount);
secondsCount -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toSeconds(hourCount);
long minutesCount = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(secondsCount);
secondsCount -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(minutesCount);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(String.format("%d %s, ", dayCount, (dayCount == 1) ? "day"
: "days"));
StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
sb2.append(sb.toString());
sb2.append(String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d %s", hourCount, minutesCount,
secondsCount, (hourCount == 1) ? "hour" : "hours"));
sb.append(String.format("%d %s, ", hourCount, (hourCount == 1) ? "hour"
: "hours"));
sb.append(String.format("%d %s and ", minutesCount,
(minutesCount == 1) ? "minute" : "minutes"));
sb.append(String.format("%d %s.", secondsCount,
(secondsCount == 1) ? "second" : "seconds"));
System.out.printf("You entered %s seconds, which is %s (%s)%n",
new DecimalFormat("#,###").format(secondsIn), sb, sb2);
Which, when I enter 500000, outputs the requested (manual line break added for post) -
You entered 500,000 seconds, which is 5 days, 18 hours,
53 minutes and 20 seconds. (5 days, 18:53:20 hours)

I started doing some pseudocode and came up with this:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Project {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Variable declaration
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
final int MIN = 60, HRS = 3600, DYS = 84600;
int input, days, seconds, minutes, hours, rDays, rHours;
// Input
System.out.println("Enter amount of seconds!");
input = scan.nextInt();
// Calculations
days = input/DYS;
rDays = input%DYS;
hours = rDays/HRS;
rHours = rDays%HRS;
minutes = rHours/MIN;
seconds = rHours%MIN;
// Output
if (input >= DYS) {
System.out.println(input + " seconds equals to " + days + " days " + hours + " hours " + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds");
}
else if (input >= HRS && input < DYS) {
System.out.println(input + " seconds equals to " + hours + " hours " + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds");
}
else if (input >= MIN && input < HRS) {
System.out.println(input + " seconds equals to " + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds");
}
else if (input < MIN) {
System.out.println(input + " seconds equals to seconds");
}
scan.close();
}

How do I format a double into a time with a print statement in Java?

I'm trying to format a double into a time in Java.
Here is my current code:
int food_intake = 1000;
int calories_burned_per_hour = 173
double hours = food_intake / calories_burned_per_hour;
System.out.println("It will take you " + hours + " hours to burn that food off");
Here is the current output:
It will take you 5.78034682 hours to burn that food off
Here is the desired output:
It will take you 5 hours and 46 minutes to burn that food off
Any help is much appreciated - thank you in advance!
You have to calculate the min part separately as below -
int food_intake = 1000;
int calories_burned_per_hour = 173;
double hours = food_intake / (calories_burned_per_hour * 1.0);
int hrPart = (int) hours;
int minPart = (int) ((hours - hrPart) * 60);
System.out.println("It will take you " + hrPart + " hours and " + minPart + " min to burn that food off");
Duration
The java.time.Duration class represents a span of time unattached to the timeline on the scale of hours, minutes, seconds, and nanos.
Duration works only with integer numbers, not fractional. So multiply your double to the granularity you desire: minutes, seconds, or nanos.
double hours = 5.78034682d ;
double minutes = ( hours * 60d ) ;
Duration d = Duration.ofMinutes( minutes ) ;
String output = d.toString() ; // Standard ISO 8601 format.
String h = d.toHoursPart() ;
String m = d.toMinutesPart() ;
Now ready to assemble your final string.

Convert long to remaining time

I'm currently trying to convert a long to a remaining time. I have got a
long remaining = XXXX
The long are the milliseconds to a certain date. For example: 3,600,000 should result in int weeks = 0, days = 0, hours = 1, minutes = 0, seconds = 0
how can I convert this long so that I end up with 5 ints:
int weeks;
int days;
int hours;
int minutes;
int seconds;
Thank you in advance!
DirtyDev
First, I suggest defining the number of ms in a second, minute, hour, etc as constants
static final int SECOND = 1000; // no. of ms in a second
static final int MINUTE = SECOND * 60; // no. of ms in a minute
static final int HOUR = MINUTE * 60; // no. of ms in an hour
static final int DAY = HOUR * 24; // no. of ms in a day
static final int WEEK = DAY * 7; // no. of ms in a week
Then, you can use basic division (/) and modulus (%) operations to find what you need.
long remaining = XXXX;
int weeks = (int)( remaining / WEEK);
int days = (int)((remaining % WEEK) / DAY);
int hours = (int)((remaining % DAY) / HOUR);
int minutes = (int)((remaining % HOUR) / MINUTE);
int seconds = (int)((remaining % MINUTE) / SECOND);
Excuse me, I don’t want to criticize too much, still I gather from the other answers that it’s easy to either write code that is hard to read or code with typos that gives an incorrect result. DirtyDev, I am aware that you may not be allowed to use Duration, but for anyone else:
long remaining = 3_600_000;
Duration remainingTime = Duration.ofMillis(remaining);
long days = remainingTime.toDays();
remainingTime = remainingTime.minusDays(days);
long weeks = days / 7;
days %= 7; // or if you prefer, days = days % 7;
long hours = remainingTime.toHours();
remainingTime = remainingTime.minusHours(hours);
long minutes = remainingTime.toMinutes();
remainingTime = remainingTime.minusMinutes(minutes);
long seconds = remainingTime.getSeconds();
System.out.println("" + weeks + " weeks " + days + " days "
+ hours + " hours " + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds");
This prints:
0 weeks 0 days 1 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds
It’s not perfect, but I believe it’s both readable, correct and robust. Duration was meant for times from hours down to nanoseconds, so we still have to do the weeks “by hand”.
Happy New Year.
This should do what you want.
long inputTimeInMilliseconds = 93800000;
long milliseconds = inputTimeInMilliseconds % 1000;
long seconds = (inputTimeInMilliseconds / 1000) % 60 ;
long minutes = ((inputTimeInMilliseconds / (1000*60)) % 60);
long hours = ((inputTimeInMilliseconds / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
long days = ((inputTimeInMilliseconds / (1000*60*60*24)) % 7);
long weeks = (inputTimeInMilliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7));
String remainingTime = "time:"+weeks+":"+days+":"+ hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+":"+milliseconds;
System.out.println(remainingTime);

How to turn minutes into years and days?

In the textbook it explains how to convert seconds into minutes with how many seconds remain but the question I have is as follows.
Write a program that prompts the user to enter the minutes (e.g., 1
billion), and displays the number of years and days for the minutes.
For simplicity, assume a year has 365 days. Here is an example.
Enter the number of minutes: 100000000
100000000 minutes is approximately 1902 years and 214 days.
What I currently have is as follows:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Ch2_Exercise2_7 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
// Prompt user for number of minutes
System.out.println("Enter the number of minutes:");
int minutes = input.nextInt();
// Number of minutes in a year
int year = minutes / 525600;
int day = minutes / 1440;
int remainingMinutes = day % 525600;
System.out.println(minutes + " minutes is " + year + " years and " + remainingMinutes + " days ");
}
}
With what I have it isn't giving me the remaining minutes into days. For example, if I put in 525600 minutes it gives me 1 year and 365 days when it should just be 1 year.
I'm using Java Eclipse. Any help would be greatly appreciated! My apologies in advance if I post the code incorrectly.
You screwed up a bit over here:
// Number of minutes in a year
int year = minutes / 525600;
int day = minutes / 1440;
int remainingMinutes = day % 525600;
You took the total number of minutes and divided by 1440, so the number of days you got was wrong. You should have taken the remainder and then divided by 1440.
Another thing was in your print statement. You wrote the number of minutes left after one year as the number of days.
This should work:
// Number of minutes in a year
int year = minutes / 525600;
int remainingMinutes = minutes % 525600;
int day = remainingMinutes / 1440;
System.out.println(minutes + " minutes is approximately " + year + " years and " + day + " days.");
My main method is separate:
public class MinutesToYearsDaysCalculator {
public static void printYearsAndDays(long minutes) {
double days = minutes / 60 / 24;
double years = days / 365;
double remainingDays = days % 365;
System.out.println((minutes < 0 ? "Invalid Value" : minutes + " min = " + (int) years + " y and " + (int) remainingDays + " d"));
}
}
int mins,hours,remainingDays,days,years;
cout << "Enter minutes:";
cin >> mins;
hours = mins/60;
days = hours/24;
years = days/365;
remainingDays = days % 365;
cout << years << " years " << remainingDays << " days " << endl;
return 0;
public class MinutesToYearsDaysCalculator {
public static void printYearsAndDays(long minutes)
{
if(minutes<0) System.out.println("Invalid Value");
else
{
long hours = minutes/60;
long day = hours/24;
long years = day/365;
long remainingDays = day % 365;
System.out.println(minutes +" min = "+ years+" y and "+remainingDays +" d");
}
}
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Prog13 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter The Minute");
int min=sc.nextInt();
int year= min/(365*24*60);
int remaining_min=(min%24*60*60);
int day=remaining_min/24*60;
System.out.println( min + " " + " Minutes is approximately:"+ year + " " +"year"+ ' '+ day + "Day" );
}
}
hello you can use this result
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MinToYearsAndDays {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("number of minutes:");
int minutes = input.nextInt();
int year = minutes / 525600;
int remainingMinutes = minutes % 525600;
int day = (remainingMinutes / 1440);
System.out.println(minutes + " minutes is approximately " + year + " years and " + day + " days ");
}
}
public class Mints_to_days_years {
// Given some numbers of minutes calculate the number of days and years
// from the given minutes.
// 1hr = 60 minutes
// 1 day = 24 hours
// 1 year = 365 days
public static void find_days_years(long minutes) {
if(minutes < 0) {
System.out.println("Invalid number of minutes.");
}
// to find the number of years, divide the nminutes by total numbers of minutes in a year.
long years = minutes / (60 * 24 * 365);
// then find the remainder minutes that does not goes exactly into year
long years_remainder = minutes % (60 * 24 * 365);
// divide the remainder by number of minutes in a day to find the numbers of days
long days = years_remainder / (60 * 24);
System.out.println(minutes + " mints = " + years + " yrs and " + days + " days.");

TimeUtil package in java [duplicate]

I want to record the time using System.currentTimeMillis() when a user begins something in my program. When he finishes, I will subtract the current System.currentTimeMillis() from the start variable, and I want to show them the time elapsed using a human readable format such as "XX hours, XX mins, XX seconds" or even "XX mins, XX seconds" because its not likely to take someone an hour.
What's the best way to do this?
Use the java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit class:
String.format("%d min, %d sec",
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis),
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) -
TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis))
);
Note: TimeUnit is part of the Java 1.5 specification, but toMinutes was added as of Java 1.6.
To add a leading zero for values 0-9, just do:
String.format("%02d min, %02d sec",
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis),
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) -
TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis))
);
If TimeUnit or toMinutes are unsupported (such as on Android before API version 9), use the following equations:
int seconds = (int) (milliseconds / 1000) % 60 ;
int minutes = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60)) % 60);
int hours = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
//etc...
Based on #siddhadev's answer, I wrote a function which converts milliseconds to a formatted string:
/**
* Convert a millisecond duration to a string format
*
* #param millis A duration to convert to a string form
* #return A string of the form "X Days Y Hours Z Minutes A Seconds".
*/
public static String getDurationBreakdown(long millis) {
if(millis < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Duration must be greater than zero!");
}
long days = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(millis);
millis -= TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(days);
long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis);
millis -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours);
long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis);
millis -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(minutes);
long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(64);
sb.append(days);
sb.append(" Days ");
sb.append(hours);
sb.append(" Hours ");
sb.append(minutes);
sb.append(" Minutes ");
sb.append(seconds);
sb.append(" Seconds");
return(sb.toString());
}
long time = 1536259;
return (new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss:SSS")).format(new Date(time));
Prints:
25:36:259
Using the java.time package in Java 8:
Instant start = Instant.now();
Thread.sleep(63553);
Instant end = Instant.now();
System.out.println(Duration.between(start, end));
Output is in ISO 8601 Duration format: PT1M3.553S (1 minute and 3.553 seconds).
Uhm... how many milliseconds are in a second? And in a minute? Division is not that hard.
int seconds = (int) ((milliseconds / 1000) % 60);
int minutes = (int) ((milliseconds / 1000) / 60);
Continue like that for hours, days, weeks, months, year, decades, whatever.
I would not pull in the extra dependency just for that (division is not that hard, after all), but if you are using Commons Lang anyway, there are the DurationFormatUtils.
Example Usage (adapted from here):
import org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DurationFormatUtils
public String getAge(long value) {
long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long age = currentTime - value;
String ageString = DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration(age, "d") + "d";
if ("0d".equals(ageString)) {
ageString = DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration(age, "H") + "h";
if ("0h".equals(ageString)) {
ageString = DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration(age, "m") + "m";
if ("0m".equals(ageString)) {
ageString = DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration(age, "s") + "s";
if ("0s".equals(ageString)) {
ageString = age + "ms";
}
}
}
}
return ageString;
}
Example:
long lastTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - 2000;
System.out.println("Elapsed time: " + getAge(lastTime));
//Output: 2s
Note: To get millis from two LocalDateTime objects you can use:
long age = ChronoUnit.MILLIS.between(initTime, LocalDateTime.now())
Either hand divisions, or use the SimpleDateFormat API.
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
// do your work...
long elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH 'hours', mm 'mins,' ss 'seconds'");
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+0"));
System.out.println(df.format(new Date(elapsed)));
Edit by Bombe: It has been shown in the comments that this approach only works for smaller durations (i.e. less than a day).
Just to add more info
if you want to format like: HH:mm:ss
0 <= HH <= infinite
0 <= mm < 60
0 <= ss < 60
use this:
int h = (int) ((startTimeInMillis / 1000) / 3600);
int m = (int) (((startTimeInMillis / 1000) / 60) % 60);
int s = (int) ((startTimeInMillis / 1000) % 60);
I just had this issue now and figured this out
Shortest solution:
Here's probably the shortest which also deals with time zones.
System.out.printf("%tT", millis-TimeZone.getDefault().getRawOffset());
Which outputs for example:
00:18:32
Explanation:
%tT is the time formatted for the 24-hour clock as %tH:%tM:%tS.
%tT also accepts longs as input, so no need to create a Date. printf() will simply print the time specified in milliseconds, but in the current time zone therefore we have to subtract the raw offset of the current time zone so that 0 milliseconds will be 0 hours and not the time offset value of the current time zone.
Note #1: If you need the result as a String, you can get it like this:
String t = String.format("%tT", millis-TimeZone.getDefault().getRawOffset());
Note #2: This only gives correct result if millis is less than a day because the day part is not included in the output.
I think the best way is:
String.format("%d min, %d sec",
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(length)/60,
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(length) % 60 );
Revisiting #brent-nash contribution, we could use modulus function instead of subtractions and use String.format method for the result string:
/**
* Convert a millisecond duration to a string format
*
* #param millis A duration to convert to a string form
* #return A string of the form "X Days Y Hours Z Minutes A Seconds B Milliseconds".
*/
public static String getDurationBreakdown(long millis) {
if (millis < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Duration must be greater than zero!");
}
long days = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(millis);
long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis) % 24;
long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis) % 60;
long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) % 60;
long milliseconds = millis % 1000;
return String.format("%d Days %d Hours %d Minutes %d Seconds %d Milliseconds",
days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
}
Joda-Time
Using Joda-Time:
DateTime startTime = new DateTime();
// do something
DateTime endTime = new DateTime();
Duration duration = new Duration(startTime, endTime);
Period period = duration.toPeriod().normalizedStandard(PeriodType.time());
System.out.println(PeriodFormat.getDefault().print(period));
For those who looking for Kotlin code:
fun converter(millis: Long): String =
String.format(
"%02d : %02d : %02d",
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis),
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis) - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis)
),
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis)
)
)
Sample output: 09 : 10 : 26
My simple calculation:
String millisecToTime(int millisec) {
int sec = millisec/1000;
int second = sec % 60;
int minute = sec / 60;
if (minute >= 60) {
int hour = minute / 60;
minute %= 60;
return hour + ":" + (minute < 10 ? "0" + minute : minute) + ":" + (second < 10 ? "0" + second : second);
}
return minute + ":" + (second < 10 ? "0" + second : second);
}
Happy coding :)
Firstly, System.currentTimeMillis() and Instant.now() are not ideal for timing. They both report the wall-clock time, which the computer doesn't know precisely, and which can move erratically, including going backwards if for example the NTP daemon corrects the system time. If your timing happens on a single machine then you should instead use System.nanoTime().
Secondly, from Java 8 onwards java.time.Duration is the best way to represent a duration:
long start = System.nanoTime();
// do things...
long end = System.nanoTime();
Duration duration = Duration.ofNanos(end - start);
System.out.println(duration); // Prints "PT18M19.511627776S"
System.out.printf("%d Hours %d Minutes %d Seconds%n",
duration.toHours(), duration.toMinutes() % 60, duration.getSeconds() % 60);
// prints "0 Hours 18 Minutes 19 Seconds"
for Android below API 9
(String.format("%d hr %d min, %d sec", millis/(1000*60*60), (millis%(1000*60*60))/(1000*60), ((millis%(1000*60*60))%(1000*60))/1000))
For small times, less than an hour, I prefer:
long millis = ...
System.out.printf("%1$TM:%1$TS", millis);
// or
String str = String.format("%1$TM:%1$TS", millis);
for longer intervalls:
private static final long HOUR = TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(1);
...
if (millis < HOUR) {
System.out.printf("%1$TM:%1$TS%n", millis);
} else {
System.out.printf("%d:%2$TM:%2$TS%n", millis / HOUR, millis % HOUR);
}

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
// do your work...
long endTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
long diff=endTime-startTime;
long hours=TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(diff);
diff=diff-(hours*60*60*1000);
long min=TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(diff);
diff=diff-(min*60*1000);
long seconds=TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(diff);
//hour, min and seconds variables contains the time elapsed on your work
This is easier in Java 9:
Duration elapsedTime = Duration.ofMillis(millisDiff );
String humanReadableElapsedTime = String.format(
"%d hours, %d mins, %d seconds",
elapsedTime.toHours(),
elapsedTime.toMinutesPart(),
elapsedTime.toSecondsPart());
This produces a string like 0 hours, 39 mins, 9 seconds.
If you want to round to whole seconds before formatting:
elapsedTime = elapsedTime.plusMillis(500).truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.SECONDS);
To leave out the hours if they are 0:
long hours = elapsedTime.toHours();
String humanReadableElapsedTime;
if (hours == 0) {
humanReadableElapsedTime = String.format(
"%d mins, %d seconds",
elapsedTime.toMinutesPart(),
elapsedTime.toSecondsPart());
} else {
humanReadableElapsedTime = String.format(
"%d hours, %d mins, %d seconds",
hours,
elapsedTime.toMinutesPart(),
elapsedTime.toSecondsPart());
}
Now we can have for example 39 mins, 9 seconds.
To print minutes and seconds with leading zero to make them always two digits, just insert 02 into the relevant format specifiers, thus:
String humanReadableElapsedTime = String.format(
"%d hours, %02d mins, %02d seconds",
elapsedTime.toHours(),
elapsedTime.toMinutesPart(),
elapsedTime.toSecondsPart());
Now we can have for example 0 hours, 39 mins, 09 seconds.
for correct strings ("1hour, 3sec", "3 min" but not "0 hour, 0 min, 3 sec") i write this code:
int seconds = (int)(millis / 1000) % 60 ;
int minutes = (int)((millis / (1000*60)) % 60);
int hours = (int)((millis / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
int days = (int)((millis / (1000*60*60*24)) % 365);
int years = (int)(millis / 1000*60*60*24*365);
ArrayList<String> timeArray = new ArrayList<String>();
if(years > 0)
timeArray.add(String.valueOf(years) + "y");
if(days > 0)
timeArray.add(String.valueOf(days) + "d");
if(hours>0)
timeArray.add(String.valueOf(hours) + "h");
if(minutes>0)
timeArray.add(String.valueOf(minutes) + "min");
if(seconds>0)
timeArray.add(String.valueOf(seconds) + "sec");
String time = "";
for (int i = 0; i < timeArray.size(); i++)
{
time = time + timeArray.get(i);
if (i != timeArray.size() - 1)
time = time + ", ";
}
if (time == "")
time = "0 sec";
If you know the time difference would be less than an hour, then you can use following code:
Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar c2 = Calendar.getInstance();
c2.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 51);
long diff = c2.getTimeInMillis() - c1.getTimeInMillis();
c2.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
c2.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
c2.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss");
long diff1 = c2.getTimeInMillis() + diff;
System.out.println(df.format(new Date(diff1)));
It will result to: 51:00
This answer is similar to some answers above. However, I feel that it would be beneficial because, unlike other answers, this will remove any extra commas or whitespace and handles abbreviation.

There is a problem. When milliseconds is 59999, actually it is 1 minute but it will be computed as 59 seconds and 999 milliseconds is lost.
Here is a modified version based on previous answers, which can solve this loss:
public static String formatTime(long millis) {
long seconds = Math.round((double) millis / 1000);
long hours = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds);
if (hours > 0)
seconds -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toSeconds(hours);
long minutes = seconds > 0 ? TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) : 0;
if (minutes > 0)
seconds -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(minutes);
return hours > 0 ? String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds) : String.format("%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds);
}
I have covered this in another answer but you can do:
public static Map<TimeUnit,Long> computeDiff(Date date1, Date date2) {
long diffInMillies = date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();
List<TimeUnit> units = new ArrayList<TimeUnit>(EnumSet.allOf(TimeUnit.class));
Collections.reverse(units);
Map<TimeUnit,Long> result = new LinkedHashMap<TimeUnit,Long>();
long milliesRest = diffInMillies;
for ( TimeUnit unit : units ) {
long diff = unit.convert(milliesRest,TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
long diffInMilliesForUnit = unit.toMillis(diff);
milliesRest = milliesRest - diffInMilliesForUnit;
result.put(unit,diff);
}
return result;
}
The output is something like Map:{DAYS=1, HOURS=3, MINUTES=46, SECONDS=40, MILLISECONDS=0, MICROSECONDS=0, NANOSECONDS=0}, with the units ordered.
It's up to you to figure out how to internationalize this data according to the target locale.
DurationFormatUtils.formatDurationHMS(long)
I modified #MyKuLLSKI 's answer and added plurlization support. I took out seconds because I didn't need them, though feel free to re-add it if you need it.
public static String intervalToHumanReadableTime(int intervalMins) {
if(intervalMins <= 0) {
return "0";
} else {
long intervalMs = intervalMins * 60 * 1000;
long days = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(intervalMs);
intervalMs -= TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(days);
long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(intervalMs);
intervalMs -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours);
long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(intervalMs);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(12);
if (days >= 1) {
sb.append(days).append(" day").append(pluralize(days)).append(", ");
}
if (hours >= 1) {
sb.append(hours).append(" hour").append(pluralize(hours)).append(", ");
}
if (minutes >= 1) {
sb.append(minutes).append(" minute").append(pluralize(minutes));
} else {
sb.delete(sb.length()-2, sb.length()-1);
}
return(sb.toString());
}
}
public static String pluralize(long val) {
return (Math.round(val) > 1 ? "s" : "");
}
Use java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit, and use this simple method:
private static long timeDiff(Date date, Date date2, TimeUnit unit) {
long milliDiff=date2.getTime()-date.getTime();
long unitDiff = unit.convert(milliDiff, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
return unitDiff;
}
For example:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
Date firstDate = sdf.parse("06/24/2017 04:30:00");
Date secondDate = sdf.parse("07/24/2017 05:00:15");
Date thirdDate = sdf.parse("06/24/2017 06:00:15");
System.out.println("days difference: "+timeDiff(firstDate,secondDate,TimeUnit.DAYS));
System.out.println("hours difference: "+timeDiff(firstDate,thirdDate,TimeUnit.HOURS));
System.out.println("minutes difference: "+timeDiff(firstDate,thirdDate,TimeUnit.MINUTES));
System.out.println("seconds difference: "+timeDiff(firstDate,thirdDate,TimeUnit.SECONDS));
This topic has been well covered, I just wanted to share my functions perhaps you can make use of these rather than importing an entire library.
public long getSeconds(ms) {
return (ms/1000%60);
}
public long getMinutes(ms) {
return (ms/(1000*60)%60);
}
public long getHours(ms) {
return ((ms/(1000*60*60))%24);
}

Calculation of times off milliseconds to time

This code below is used to format milliseconds. The calculations are off by a long shot. I need some help with it. Output of my code is below as well as the milliseconds into a Date class.
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Wrong Time: " + getTime(999999999 * 599));
}
//Being called into this method is milliseconds = 598999999401
public static String getTime(long miliseconds) {
int years = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7*52*12)));
int months = (int) (miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7*52) % 12);
int weeks = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7)) % 52);
int days = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24)) % 7);
int hours = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
int minutes = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60)) % 60);
int seconds = (int) (miliseconds / 1000) % 60;
Date date = new Date(598999999401L);//This gets the real time
System.out.println("Right Time: " + date.getYear() + " years " + (int)(date.getMonth() % 12) + " months " + (int)(date.getDay() % 52) + " weeks "
+ (int)(date.getDay() % 7) + " days " + (int)(date.getHours() % 24) + " hours " + (int)(date.getMinutes() % 60) + " minutes " +
+ (int)(date.getSeconds() % 60) + " seconds");
return (years <= 0 ? "" : years + " year" + (years != 1 ? "s" : "")) +
(months <= 0 ? "" : " " + months + " month" + (months != 1 ? "s" : "")) +
(weeks <= 0 ? "" : " " + weeks + " week" + (weeks != 1 ? "s" : "")) +
(days <= 0 ? "" : " " + days + " day" + (days != 1 ? "s" : "")) +
(hours <= 0 ? "" : " " + hours + " hour" + (hours != 1 ? "s" : "")) +
(minutes <= 0 ? "" : " " + minutes + " minute" + (minutes != 1 ? "s" : "")) +
(seconds <= 0 ? "" : " " + seconds + " second" + (seconds != 1 ? "s" : ""));
}
Correct Output(Date class)
Right Time: 88 years 11 months 6 weeks 6 days 14 hours 53 minutes 19 seconds
Wrong Output(My method)
Wrong Time: 1 month 3 weeks 2 days 3 hours 25 minutes 45 seconds
UPDATE 1 (NEW CALCULATIONS)(Still has logic errors):
int years = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7*4*12)));
int months = (int) (miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7*4) % 12);
int weeks = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7)) % 4);
int days = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24)) % 7);
int hours = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
int minutes = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60)) % 60);
int seconds = (int) (miliseconds / 1000) % 60;
Two issues.
Your code seems to reflect a belief that there are 52 weeks in a month. These are the two lines at fault.
int years = (int) ((miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7*52*12)));
int months = (int) (miliseconds / (1000*60*60*24*7*52) % 12);
Also, you're using int where you should be using long. The maximum int number of milliseconds is just under 25 days, so you can never do date/time arithmetic with int.
One problem is int overflow since your main method is using int literals, not longs. Try:
System.out.println("Wrong Time: " + getTime(999999999L * 599L));
Also, don't use magic numbers. Use constants that make sense and that make your code self-commenting:
private static final int MILI_PER_SEC = 1000;
private static final int SEC_PER_MIN = 60;
private static final int MIN_PER_HR = 60;
private static final int HR_PER_DAY = 24;
private static final int DAYS_PER_YR = 365;
and then,
int years = (int) (miliseconds / (MILI_PER_SEC * SEC_PER_MIN * MIN_PER_HR *
HR_PER_DAY * DAYS_PER_YR));
Also, your calculations are all off. You shouldn't be using weeks in the year calculation at all. Use constants, have them make sense. And how do you know that the "correct" result is in fact correct? You are using deprecated code, and Date doesn't use miliseconds the way that you think that it does. It calculates the date relative to January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT as per the Date API.
