How to get current date time in milliseconds in android [duplicate]

I think leverage this functionality using Java

long time= System.currentTimeMillis();

this will return current time in milliseconds mode . this will surely work

long time= System.currentTimeMillis();
android.util.Log.i("Time Class ", " Time value in millisecinds "+time);

Here is my logcat using the above function

05-13 14:38:03.149: INFO/Time Class(301): Time value in millisecinds 1368436083157

If you got any doubt with millisecond value .Check Here

EDIT : Time Zone I used to demo the code IST(+05:30) ,So if you check milliseconds that mentioned in log to match with time in log you might get a different value based your system timezone

EDIT: This is easy approach .but if you need time zone or any other details I think this won’t be enough
