Java add milliseconds to Date

In this tutorial, you will learn how to add milliseconds to date.

Java Calendar class is a very useful and handy class. It is basically used in date time manipulation. Here, we are going to add milli-seconds to current date and return the resultant time. For this, we have created a calendar instance and get a date to represent the current date. Then using the method add() of Calendar class, we have added 186 milliseconds to the calendar which in result display the resulted time.

Example:

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

public class AddMilliSecondsToDate{

  public static void main(String[] args){
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    Date today = calendar.getTime();
	SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss S");
    System.out.println("Current Time: " + sdf.format(today));
    calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 186);
    Date addMilliSeconds = calendar.getTime();
    System.out.println("Time after 186 milliseconds: " + sdf.format(addMilliSeconds));
  }
}

Output:

Current Time: 12:59:28 968
Time after 186 milliseconds: 12:59:29 154
