    <p>I'm executing a <code>Runnable</code> within an Android application every 100ms wrapped in a Java <code>ScheduledExecutorService</code>. As a part of the <code>run()</code> block I need to obtain the current seconds as 0-59 and milliseconds as 0-999. Both should be in local time, although UTC is workable too.</p> <p>What's the <strong>absolute fastest</strong> way to do this? Internationalization/unique calendars aren't required.</p> <p>Currently I'm using <code>Calendar</code> in the below way, but I was thinking it could be faster to use <code>System.currentTimeMillis()</code> and do some math, I'd appreciate any input.</p> <pre><code>Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); int seconds = calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND); </code></pre> <p>If it's relevant, this is actually within an Android application.</p> <p><strong>Edit for clarification</strong></p> <p>Obtaining the current seconds as 0-59 (i.e. relative to the current minute) is critical, so <code>System.currentTimeMillis()</code> comes with a math cost as I mentioned above. What I wasn't sure about was whether doing this math + the system call would be faster than the call to <code>Calendar</code>, or if there are any other options (like <a href="http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Joda Time</a>) which may have even less of a footprint. </p> <p>For reference, below is the most straightforward way I could come up with off the top of my head to get seconds (0-59) from the Unix timestamp.</p> <pre><code>double seconds = Math.floor(((Math.floor(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000) % 86400) % 3600) % 60); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
