From milliseconds to hour, minutes, seconds and milliseconds

Question

I need to go from milliseconds to a tuple of (hour, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) representing the same amount of time. E.g.:

10799999ms = 2h 59m 59s 999ms

Answer 1

Just an other java example:

long dayLength = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
long dayMs = System.currentTimeMillis() % dayLength;
double percentOfDay = (double) dayMs / dayLength;
int hour = (int) (percentOfDay * 24);
int minute = (int) (percentOfDay * 24 * 60) % 60;
int second = (int) (percentOfDay * 24 * 60 * 60) % 60;

an advantage is that you can simulate shorter days, if you adjust dayLength
