new Date().getTime() is bugged.
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println(date);
System.out.println(date.getHours() + ":" + date.getMinutes() + ":" + date.getSeconds());
long t1 = date.getTime();
System.out.println((t1 / 1000 / 60 / 60) % 24 + ":" + (t1 / 1000 / 60) % 60 + ":" + (t1 / 1000) % 60);
long t2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println((t2 / 1000 / 60 / 60) % 24 + ":" + (t2 / 1000 / 60) % 60 + ":" + (t2 / 1000) % 60);
It returns me the wrong time millis. System.currentTimeMillis()
too. Since I ask the Date instance to tell me the corresponding time millis it must return the matching ones not others from a different time zone. Funny how deprecated methods are the only ones which return correct values.
