Date.getTime in Android Eclipse

Here is my code to assign a value to the Date:

long saveddatevalue = new Date().getTime();

I just want to know, what does this saved long variable actually show? I wish to use this to output values within a certain number of days.

Thanks!

It is far easier to work with java.util.Calendar.add(int, int) for manipulating dates. Here is some sample code.

It will basically give you the same result as System.currentTimeMillis() - the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch of midnight January 1st 1970, UTC.
