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

I've solved this as is shown below:

    long year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    long month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
    long day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    long calcDate = year * 100 + month;
    calcDate = calcDate * 100 + day;
    System.out.println("int: " + calcDate);
