Answer 1

Will this be the values "CURRENT TIME AND DAY IN MINUTES"?

Answer 2

The problem is, that your "minutes" variable is in UNIX-Timestamp format.

'Timestamp.valueOf(today).getTime();' will give you the milliseconds till 01.01.1970.

Answer 3

Tom Hammerbacher CURRENT TIME AND DAY IN MINUTES is the current day and current time converted to milliseconds to minutes.

Answer 4

Is there any way to get around this? Getting the remaining time between the current time and the future time, example 23:40 in Java.

Answer 5

Just convert your current timestamp in the same way you convert the 23:10 timestamp. So don't use "getTime()" just use the timestamp in format 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm:ss'. Split it by String.split(" ")[1] to get the hh:mm:as part and split that as well to get hours and minutes :)

Answer 6

I've done that in another code where I use the Calendar class. The problem when comparing only time is, for example if the current time is 10:30 and I want a remaining time between 10:30 today and 01:30 the following day, I will get an answer in a negative. So I'm not getting the correct answer.
