Answer 1

Call getTime to get the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970. Divide by 1000 to get it in seconds:

long unixTime = from_time.getTime() / 1000;

To get the number of seconds since 00:00 of the current day, use the

Calendar c = Calendar();
c.setTime(from_time);
long daySeconds = (c.get(Calendar.SECONDS) +
                   c.get(Calendar.MINUTES) * 60 +
                   c.get(Calendar.HOURS) * 3600);
