How to get timeStamp in java like this code in C#

Question

How can I re-write the code below (that is written in C#), in java to get same result?

TimeSpan Now = DateTime.UtcNow.Subtract(new DateTime(1970,1, 1));
long TimeStamp = Convert.ToInt64(Math.Floor(Now.TotalMilliseconds));

I want to translate the C# code to java language to get the value of TimeStamp (long variable).

I use LocalDateTime and get time between now and 1.1.1970 by period.between. but I want to convert this to TimeStamp (long variable) format like c# code.@aviad — Atefeh Rashidi

Is the above code just giving you the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970? I'm not a C# person. What would the output of your code look like in C#? — Michael Markidis

@ Michael Markidis yes. It gives a number like this : 1463568180761. — Atefeh Rashidi

If you are always doing it from 1/1/1970, then you can use System.currentTimeMillis(); — Michael Markidis

Just use:

long timestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();

you can use this :

 java.util.Date date= new java.util.Date();
  System.out.println(new Timestamp(date.getTime()));
