Current time in microseconds in java

Answer 1

The Java 8 java.time package has what you need.

Try:

LocalDateTime.now(); // The current timestamp accurate to nanoseconds
LocalDateTime.now().getLong(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND); // the microseconds part
LocalDateTime.now().getLong(ChronoField.NANO_OF_SECOND); // even finer
LocalDateTime.now().getDayOfMonth(); // main parts of the date have their own methods
LocalDateTime.now().getMonth(); // etc  

To just get nanos as a String, use nnnnnnnnn in the format:

LocalDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.nnnnnnnnn"));
