You can get the current date time via following two classes – Date and Calendar. And, later use SimpleDateFormat class to convert the date into user friendly format.
-> Date() + SimpleDateFormat()
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss"); Date date = new Date(); System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));
-> get the time
Date date = new Date(); System.out.println(date.getTime());
-> get the time stamp
Date date = new Date(); System.out.println(new Timestamp(date.getTime()));
You can define various format i.e
-> dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss
-> yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss
-> yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss
You can use as working code like
import java.util.Date; import java.text.DateFormat; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Calendar; public class GetCurrentDateTime { public static void main(String[] args) { DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"); //get current date time with Date() Date date = new Date(); System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date)); //get the time Date date = new Date(); System.out.println(new Timestamp(date.getTime())); // get the timestamp } }
