Get milliseconds until midnight

Question

I\'m creating an Android widget that I want to update every night at midnight. I am using an AlarmManager and I need to find out how many milliseconds are left

Answer 1

Try the following:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
long now = c.getTimeInMillis();
c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

long millisecondsUntilMidnight = c.getTimeInMillis() - now;

AlarmManager mAlarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(android.content.Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
mAlarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, millisecondsUntilMidnight, mSrvcPendingingIntent);
