Get milliseconds until midnight

Question

I'm creating an Android widget that I want to update every night at midnight. I am using an AlarmManager and I need to find out how many milliseconds are left from the current time until midnight. Here's my code:

AlarmManager mAlarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(android.content.Context.ALARM_SERVICE); mAlarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, millisecondsUntilMidnight, mSrvcPendingingIntent); 

How can I calculate how many milliseconds are left until midnight?

Thank you in advance.

Use a Calendar to compute it :

        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();         c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);         c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);         c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);         c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);         c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);         long howMany = (c.getTimeInMillis()-System.currentTimeMillis());
