Answer 1

You can use this code

long miliSecsDate = milliseconds ("2015-06-04");
Log.d("miliSecsDate", " = "+miliSecsDate);

    public long milliseconds(String date) 
    {
        //String date_ = date;
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        try
        {
            Date mDate = sdf.parse(date);
            long timeInMilliseconds = mDate.getTime();
            System.out.println("Date in milli :: " + timeInMilliseconds);
            return timeInMilliseconds;
        }
        catch (ParseException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return 0;
    }
