can anyone provide me with Java code to generate timestamp to be used in OAuth requests?

Question

The OAuth Spec says that the timestamp is expressed in the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT. The timestamp value MUST be a positive integer and MUST be equal or greater than the timestamp used in previous requests.

I need it to us it my Android App to make an http post

Answer 1

You could use:

int authSeconds = (int)(new Date().getTime()/1000);

Answer 2

for the current time stamp use System.currentTimeMillis()/1000

Answer 3

try this:

int authSeconds = (int)(new Date().getTime()/1000);
