Android: How to get hour/min in milliseconds

I am using timepicker. I can get date(calendar) in milliseconds but cant figure out with timepicker

with date i used: 

GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Central"));
cal.setTimeInMillis(calendarView.getDate());
Date date = new Date(calendarView.getDate() / 1000L);
long timestamp = date.getTime()
//and this works

But i dont know with timePicker becouse i get two int's: hour, min.

Im just out of plays and dont know much more to try.. Could use the help

SOLUTION:

Dummy me just need to say the problem outloud.. Hopfully it will help someone else..

 long hour = timePicker.getCurrentHour();
 long min = timePicker.getCurrentMinute();

 hour = TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hour);
 min = TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(min);

TimePicker is design for 24hours of day, thus you cant get date within it just hours and minutes within the day.

as the documentation is saying:

A view for selecting the time of day, in either 24 hour or AM/PM mode.

I would recommend using DatePicker to enable you to get the date.
