How can I get current time in YYYY MM DD HH MI Sec Millisecond format in Java

Question

I want to print current time in YYYY:MM:DD HH:MI:Sec:Millisecond format. How can I prnt it?

Answer 1

To print the current time in given format we have to import StandardDateFormat class from java.text library.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

Then we have to create the object of this class.

SimpleDateFormat s = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");

Answer 2

public String getCurrentTimeStamp() {
    return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS").format(new Date());
}
