can't get current time

I need the current time in milliseconds, so I use Calendar object to retrieve hours and minutes and convert them into milliseconds, but everytime it returns same value, that's the problem.

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
int milliseconds = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)*60*60*1000 + 
calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

Callendar.getTimeInMillis() and System doesn't work for me cause I can't convert them to daytime. What I need is current daytime but in milliseconds.

https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Date.html#getTime()

(new Date()).getTime())

https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System.html#currentTimeMillis()

System.currentTimeMillis());

Both these methods returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

Read currentTimeMillis.

Returns the current time in milliseconds. Note that while the unit of time of the return value is a millisecond, the granularity of the value depends on the underlying operating system and may be larger.

long getTIME= calendar.getTimeInMillis();

You can use

java.util.Calendar.getTimeInMillis()

to get time in millis directly for that particular Calendar instance. If you just need Current time use

System.currentTimeMillis();
