How to Get Current TimeStamp in Java

Written by Rahul, Updated on April 20, 2018

Java Code:

Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());

Above example command will return the current timestamp and save values in ts object variable.

Example:

Following example will get the current time in milliseconds using getTime() function. After that Timestamp will convert it to proper time. Below example is explained in multi-line but if you want current time stamp only, Use above given one line code.

import java.util.Date;
import java.sql.Timestamp;

public class GetTimeStamp
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {

	 Date date= new Date();

	 long time = date.getTime();
     	 System.out.println("Time in Milliseconds: " + time);

	 Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(time);
	 System.out.println("Current Time Stamp: " + ts);
    }
}

import java.util.Date;

import java.sql.Timestamp;

public class GetTimeStamp

{

public static void main( String[] args )

{

Date date= new Date();

long time = date.getTime();

System.out.println("Time in Milliseconds: " + time);

Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(time);

System.out.println("Current Time Stamp: " + ts);

}

After executing above Java code you will get following values in return.

Time in Milli Seconds: 1447402821007
Current Time Stamp: 2015-11-13 13:50:21.007

More Simple.
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
System.out.println(“Current Time Stamp: ” + ts);
