You could use:
Calendar c =Calendar.getInstance();int seconds = c.get(Calendar.SECOND);
There are plenty of constants in Calendar for everything you need. Edit: Calendar class documentation

You can use android.text.format.Time:
Time now =newTime();
now.setToNow();
From the reference linked above:
The Time class is a faster replacement for the java.util.Calendar and java.util.GregorianCalendar classes. An instance of the Time class represents a moment in time, specified with second precision.
If you want to get the date and time in a specific pattern you can use the following:
SimpleDateFormat sdf =newSimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss");String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(newDate());
Actually, it‘s safer to set the current timezone set on the device with
Time.getCurrentTimezone()
, or else you will get the current time in UTC.Time today =newTime(Time.getCurrentTimezone()); today.setToNow();
Then, you can get all the date fields you want, like, for example:
textViewDay.setText(today.monthDay +"");// Day of the month (1-31) textViewMonth.setText(today.month +"");// Month (0-11) textViewYear.setText(today.year +"");// Year textViewTime.setText(today.format("%k:%M:%S"));// Current time
See android.text.format.Time class for all the details.
To ge the current time you can use
System.currentTimeMillis()
which is standard in Java. Then you can use it to create a dateDate currentDate =newDate(System.currentTimeMillis());
And as mentioned by others to create a time
Time currentTime =newTime(); currentTime.setToNow();
For those who might rather prefer a customized format, you can use:
DateFormat df =newSimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yyyy, HH:mm");String date = df.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
Whereas you can have DateFormat patterns such as:
"yyyy.MM.dd G ‘at‘ HH:mm:ss z"----2001.07.04 AD at 12:08:56 PDT "hh ‘o‘‘clock‘ a, zzzz"-----------12 o‘clock PM, Pacific Daylight Time "EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"------- Wed, 4 Jul 2001 12:08:56 -0700 "yyyy-MM-dd‘T‘HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"------- 2001-07-04T12:08:56.235-0700 "yyMMddHHmmssZ"-------------------- 010704120856-0700 "K:mm a, z" ----------------------- 0:08 PM, PDT "h:mm a" -------------------------- 12:08 PM "EEE, MMM d, ‘‘yy" ---------------- Wed, Jul 4, ‘01
