Question

How can I get the time stamp for current date in j2me code?

I want to convert the current date into timestamp something like this we do in Java SE :

java.util.Date date= new java.util.Date();
System.out.println(new Timestamp(date.getTime()));

Here you go:

public class DateAndTime extends MIDlet implements CommandListener{
  private Display disp;
  private Date d;
  private DateField currentDate;
  private Form form;
  private int index;

  public DateAndTime(){
    form = new Form("Data and Time");
    d = new Date();
    currentDate = new DateField("", DateField.DATE_TIME);
    currentDate.setDate(d);
  }

  public void startApp(){
    index = form.append(currentDate);
    disp = Display.getDisplay(this);
    disp.setCurrent(form);
  }

}

Hope this helps.

Edit:-

try something like this:

new Date().getTime();
//------- OR
long dtMili = System.currentTimeMillis();
Date dt = new Date(dtMili);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(dt);
cal.getTime(); //-------- This will give you the timestamp.
