Question

I would like to get the current date with the time zeroed out in milliseconds.

Example, if it’s 12:69pm today, I want to get the time in milliseconds for today’s date with no time…meaning, the time just after midnight (one millisecond or 0 if that works).

I was using the Calendar object but can’t seem to figure out how to zero out the time portion.

Answer 1

Here is how to zero the time of a calendar:

Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
today.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
today.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
today.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
today.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
