JodaTime Get Current Milliseconds From Beginning Of Day

Question

I'm trying to get the current milliseconds from the Beginning of that day. So I would like to make the following calculation. 86400000-currMilliSecondsFromBeginningOfDay. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

long result = new DateTime().millisOfDay().getMillis();  

or

long result = new DateTime().getMillis() - new DateTime().withMillisOfDay(0).getMillis();  

or

long result = new LocalTime().get(DateTimeFieldType.millisOfDay());

Answer 2

You can get the beginning of the day using DateMidnight from the jodatime library.

long todayStart = new DateMidnight().getMillis();

While DateTime constructor will set its millis field to current value.
