How to get current time from the system

[guyi...@gmail.com]

Hello!!

Recently I have been working on a project in Protocoder and I needed to get the time from my Android system. I am not an expert in JavaScript nor in Android, so it took more than two hours to achieve it. I share this here, expecting it could help anyone ;)

To get the current (Unix/POSIX) time you just need to write this

var Time = java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();

or

java.lang.Math.round(Time/1000);

if you don't need millisecond precision.

You can also try

var Time = java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime();

or have a look to

Hope it helps!!
