Changing Java Date one hour back

Question

I have a Java date object:

Date currentDate = new Date();

This will give the current date and time. Example:

Thu Jan 12 10:         


        

Answer 1

Get the time in milliseconds, minus your minutes in milliseconds and convert it to Date. Here you need to objectify one!!!

    int minutes = 60;
    long currentDateTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Date currentDate = new Date(currentDateTime - minutes*60*1000);
    System.out.println(currentDate);
