Convert Current date to integer

Question

I want to convert the current date to integer value. By default, it returns long. When I try to convert long to integer, and afterwards I convert the integer value to date,

Answer 1

Do you need something like this(without time)?

public static Integer toJulianDate(Date pDate) {
if (pDate == null) {
  return null;
}
Calendar lCal = Calendar.getInstance();
lCal.setTime(pDate);
int lYear = lCal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int lMonth = lCal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
int lDay = lCal.get(Calendar.DATE);
int a = (14 - lMonth) / 12;
int y = lYear + 4800 - a;
int m = lMonth + 12 * a - 3;
return lDay + (153 * m + 2) / 5 + 365 * y + y / 4 - y / 100 + y / 400 - 32045;
}
