Convert date and time to milliseconds in Android

Question

I have Date and Time from DatePicker and TimePicker. Now i want to change the s

Answer 1

Merge the two strings together, and parse them using SimpleDateFormat.

Something like this:

String toParse = myDate + " " + myTime; // Results in "2-5-2012 20:43"
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("d-M-yyyy hh:mm"); // I assume d-M, you may refer to M-d for month-day instead.
Date date = formatter.parse(toParse); // You will need try/catch around this
long millis = date.getTime();
