How to get the current time in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:Sec.Millisecond format in Java?

Question

The code below gives me the current time. But it does not tell anything about milliseconds.

public static String getCurrentTimeStamp() {
    SimpleDateForm         


        

Answer 1

To complement the above answers, here is a small working example of a program that prints the current time and date, including milliseconds.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class test {
    public static void main(String argv[]){
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
        Date now = new Date();
        String strDate = sdf.format(now);
        System.out.println(strDate);
    }
}
