How to convert date format to milliseconds?

Question

How to get millisecond time from a date? I have the following code.

Date beginupd = new Date(cursor1.getLong(1));

This beginupd variable contains the format

Wed Oct 12 11:55:03 GMT + 05: 30 2011

Now, how to convert this format in millisecond to Long datatype? Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance ...

 date.setTime(milliseconds);

this is for given milliseconds in a date

 long milli = date.getTime();

This is for getting time in milliseconds.

Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

you can use

 Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(beginupd); long millis = cal.getTimeInMillis();

beginupd.getTime() will give you time in milliseconds from January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT until the time you specify in the Date object
