I have three different times:
time on server - "Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:44 CET"
time of start meeting on server - "12:00h"
time on device- "13:49"
I need to get time of start meeting on device ...this-> "14:00h" or time to meeting this-> "11m"
I'm trying to get it by using :
long ts = System.currentTimeMillis();
Date localTime = new Date(ts);
String gmt_time="12:00h";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm'h'");
format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
Date d_date = null;
d_date = format.parse(gmt_time);
format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Date fromGmt = new Date(d_date.getTime() + TimeZone.getDefault().getOffset(localTime.getTime()));
String new_date=format.format(fromGmt);
But result in new_date is "15:00h" (I need "14:00h")
You assumption of CET = GMT on Wed, 19 Feb 2014 seems to be incorrect - refer to here.
CET is an hour ahead of GMT
11:44 CET would mean 10:44 GMT
Hence, when you calculate an offset from GMT time and your local time, it adds an hour to it.
Change format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")); to format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("CET")); and it should work as expected.
Found quickly solution
String cet_time="12.11.14"+" "+"12:00h";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yy' 'HH:mm'h'");
format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("CET"));
Date d_date = format.parse(cet_time);
( new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yy")).format(fromGmt);//new date String
( new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm'h'")).format(fromGmt);//new time String

I have a problem with the chronometer. When I start it, it begins from 01:00:00.
I don't know why. I think that my code is correct.
Can you understand what the problem is?
This is my code:
Chronometer crono = new Chronometer(this);
crono.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
crono.start();
When I print the time I call this method:
long time = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - totalTime.getBase();
Date date = new Date(time);
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
formatter.format(date);
Thanks very much!
You're trying to format a date difference as a date. I'd say maybe timezones come into play?
scala> new java.util.Date(0)
res2: java.util.Date = Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 GMT 1970
scala> new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").format(new Date(0))
res5: String = 01:00:00
You might want something like [DurationFormatUtils.formatDuration()](http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/time/DurationFormatUtils.html#formatDuration(long, java.lang.String)).
I am bit frustrated by this.
I have a String "2015-02-18T23:44:59" which represents time in GMT format.
I want to parse this date into date object.
String dateStr = "2015-02-18T23:44:59";
Date date = DateUtils.parseDate(dateStr, new String[]{"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"});
System.out.println(dateStr + " \t" + date.toString());
This outputs :
2015-02-18T23:44:59 Thu Feb 19 05:14:59 IST 2015
As you can see latter time has time zone IST but my original time was GMT.
I don't think there is any parse function which takes current date's time zone.
One way to answer is this question is that :
date.setTime(date.getTime() + ( date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000));
System.out.println("\t" + date.toString());
This outputs:
Wed Feb 18 23:44:59 IST 2015
Which seems correct time (but incorrect time zone). Additionally, getTimezoneOffset() is deprecated.
Can anyone suggest me a better way to deal with String dates considering time zones.
I'd use a date format:
SimpleDateFormat utcFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
utcFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Date date = utcFormat.parse("2015-02-18T23:44:59");
I have various Date instances in my Java program. Working with the is a pain but it is required.
Date today = new Date(); // Wed Dec 10 14:10:29 EST 2014
Date a = new GregorianCalendar(2014, 11, 10).getTime();
Date b = new GregorianCalendar(2015, 01, 10).getTime();
Date c = new GregorianCalendar(2015, 02, 10).getTime();
Date d = new GregorianCalendar(2015, 03, 10).getTime(); //Fri April 10 00:00:00 EDT 2015
Date e = new GregorianCalendar(2015, 11 ,10).getTime();
I need to figure out how to shave off the time (14:10:29) from each as well as convert them to GMT time.
I know today.getTime(); will the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT, but I'm not sure how to represent that with out the times.
This would be for easier comparisons between dates. Thanks.
try using date formater
SimpleDateFormat df= new SimpleDateFormat("HH:MM:ss");
df.format(date)
All you have to do is modulus the long value by the long value of 1 day, and subtract that off the long value of your date.
If you have Wed Dec 10 14:10:29 EST 2014, then if you do
Date today = new Date(); // Wed Dec 10 14:10:29 EST 2014
long timeDiff = today.getTime() % 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
today = new Date(today.getTime - timeDiff);
The new today object will be created with the time of the day removed.
To convert them to GMT you can similarly create new dates for the longs. This is obviously "Date" way to do it. The best way would be to use Calendar.
I'm trying to create a function that convert a timestamp to Date object.
My problem is that using this online tools i reach correctly to convert timestamp to date but using java it doesn't convert correctly.
This is what i try:
public static Date getDateFromUUID(UUID uuid) {
Calendar uuidEpoch = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
uuidEpoch.clear();
uuidEpoch.set(1582, 9, 15, 0, 0, 0);
long epochMillis = uuidEpoch.getTime().getTime();
long time = (uuid.timestamp() / 10000L) + epochMillis;
Calendar start = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Calendar end = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
start.setTimeInMillis(time*1000);
end.set(start.get(Calendar.YEAR), start.get(Calendar.MONTH), start.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),0,0,0);
return end.getTime();
}
I'm trying using that uuid: a261ae00-2a9c-11b2-ae56-bcee7be23398
it correctly converts to timestamp : 1406412000
Using this:
Calendar start = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Calendar end = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
start.setTimeInMillis(time*1000);
end.set(start.get(Calendar.YEAR), start.get(Calendar.MONTH), start.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),0,0,0);
return end.getTime();
I need to remove hours, minutes and seconds and take only years,months and days.
but it convert timestamp to
Sat Jul 26 02:00:00 CEST 2014
Instead of
Sun Jul 27 00:00:00 CEST 2014
what could be my mistake?
Thanks!
Your time zone if wrong. Notice that output is CEST but you set the calendar to UTC. The delta between these two is 2 hours. When you output the Date you need to set the timezone appropriately.
I have a XMLGregorianCalendar that I would like to convert to a Java Date object, but when I try to covert this:
2013-11-19T00:00:00-00:00
I always get a date with the value a day behind.
Mon Nov 18 17:00:00 MST 2013
I just want a date object containing 11/19/2013.
As commented above, the result you're getting is right - it's the same moment in time. Midnight UTC is 5PM MST the day before. Perhaps you should look into why your time is in "-00:00" instead of "-07:00" (MST)... but in the meanwhile, I suppose you could try this:
public static void main(String... args) throws DatatypeConfigurationException {
XMLGregorianCalendar xcal = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar("2013-11-19T00:00:00-00:00");
Calendar c = xcal.toGregorianCalendar();
c.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
Date d = c.getTime();
System.out.println(d);
}
prints out Tue Nov 19 00:00:00 EST 2013, and will work for other times of day, not just midnight.
I just did this,
Date startDate = new Date(request.getStartTime().getYear(), request.getStartTime().getMonth(), request.getStartTime().getDay(), 0, 0, 0);
