Java calendar get the current date, without hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, in milliseconds

Question

I would like to get the current date in milliseconds with only year, month and date. But when I use this code:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.clear(Calendar.HOUR); cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE); cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND); cal.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND); currentDate = cal.getTimeInMillis(); 

I still get the time in milliseconds with the hour. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0); cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0); currentDate = cal.getTimeInMillis(); 

Be carefull on the timezone of your Calendar.
