TimeZone and MilliSeconds

Question

Hi,

I'm able to get the current time by using LocalDateTime and I'm also able to get milliseconds using long milliSeconds = Timestamp.valueOf(today).getTime();

The problem is the current time I'm getting is not in my time zone. So how will I able to get my desired time zone?

You can check my code.

Answer 1

bear in mind thar Timestamp can’t handle ZonedDateTime. You have to remove the zone information first:

ZoneId timeZone = ZoneId.of("Africa/Johannesburg");
ZonedDateTime today = ZonedDateTime.now(timeZone);
LocalDateTime withoutTimezone = today.toLocalDateTime();
long milliSeconds = Timestamp.valueOf(withoutTimezone).getTime();

Answer 2

try :

ZoneId z = ZoneId.systemDefault() ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.now( z ) ;

Answer 3

Thanks, I figured out the answer.
