Get timestamp and convert it to string

Question

I'm using this to get current timestamp in seconds and add it to a string Double.toString((System.currentTimeMillis()/1000)) However instead of decimal notation I get "1.23213E9". How do I switch to the decimal notation ?

Answer 1

The shortest is

String secs = "" + System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000;

If you want to retain milli-seconds you can use

String secs = String.format("%.3f",  System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000.0);

produces a String like

1342604140.503

Answer 2

Try this:

TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(((System.currentTimeMillis());

Answer 3

String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000)

that should do the trick? No need to convert it to a double
