Getting Time Elapsed Since Given Date Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Date getTime() method. We're creating a date instance and using getTime() we've checked how much seconds have passed since Jan 1, 1970.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Date; public class DateDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a date Date date = new Date(97, 1, 23); long diff = date.getTime(); // print how many milliseconds have passed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT System.out.println("If date is 23-01-1997, " + diff + " have passed."); } }
