In this article, you’ll learn how to get the current epoch timestamp in milliseconds precision in Java.
Get current timestamp in Java using System.currentTimeMillis()
public class CurrentEpochTimestampExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Get epoch timestamp using System.currentTimeMillis()
long currentTimestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Current epoch timestamp in millis: " + currentTimestamp);
}
}
Get current timestamp in Java using the Instant class
import java.time.Instant;
public class CurrentEpochTimestampExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Get current timestamp using Instant
currentTimestamp = Instant.now().toEpochMilli();
System.out.println("Current epoch timestamp in millis: " + currentTimestamp);
}
}
