Is there any existing way to get a Calendar populated with time at epoch using Calendar API's other than explicitly setting them at epoch? All I was able to do was to get the current time.

The getInstance() method in Calendar class is used to get a calendar using the current time zone and locale of the system. Syntax: public static Calendar getInstance() Parameters: The method does not take any parameters. Return Value: The method returns the calendar.
Convert from human-readable date to epochlong epoch = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss").parse("01/01/1970 01:00:00").getTime() / 1000; Timestamp in seconds, remove '/1000' for milliseconds. date +%s -d"Jan 1, 1980 00:00:01" Replace '-d' with '-ud' to input in GMT/UTC time.
There is no pre defined constructor or factory method to do this, but it is fairly simple:
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTimeInMillis(0);
