java time  The java time framework in Java 8 and later supplants the old java util Date  Calendar classes  The old classes have proven to be troublesome  confusing  and flawed  Avoid them   The java time framework is inspired by the highly-successful Joda-Time library  defined by JSR  310  extended by the ThreeTen-Extra project  and explained in the Tutorial   Instant  The Instant class represents a moment on the timeline in UTC   The java time framework has a resolution of nanoseconds  or 9 digits of a fractional second  Milliseconds is only 3 digits of a fractional second  Because millisecond resolution is common  java time includes a handy factory method   long millisecondsSinceEpoch   1446959825213L  Instant instant   Instant ofEpochMilli   millisecondsSinceEpoch         millisecondsSinceEpoch  1446959825213 is instant  2015-11-08T05 17 05 213Z   ZonedDateTime  To consider current week and current month  we need to apply a particular time zone    ZoneId zoneId   ZoneId of    America Montreal     ZonedDateTime zdt   ZonedDateTime ofInstant   instant   zoneId         In zoneId  America Montreal that is  2015-11-08T00 17 05 213-05 00 America Montreal    Half-Open  In date-time work  we commonly use the Half-Open approach to defining a span of time  The beginning is inclusive while the ending in exclusive  Rather than try to determine the last split-second of the end of the week  or month   we get the first moment of the following week  or month   So a week runs from the first moment of Monday and goes up to but not including the first moment of the following Monday    Let s the first day of the week  and last  The java time framework includes a tool for that  the with method and the ChronoField enum    By default  java time uses the ISO 8601 standard  So Monday is the first day of the week  1  and Sunday is last  7    ZonedDateTime firstOfWeek   zdt with   ChronoField DAY OF WEEK   1       ISO 8601  Monday is first day of week  ZonedDateTime firstOfNextWeek   firstOfWeek plusWeeks   1         That week runs from  2015-11-02T00 17 05 213-05 00 America Montreal  to 2015-11-09T00 17 05 213-05 00 America Montreal    Oops  Look at the time-of-day on those values  We want the first moment of the day  The first moment of the day is not always 00 00 00 000 because of Daylight Saving Time  DST  or other anomalies  So we should let java time make the adjustment on our behalf  To do that  we must go through the LocalDate class   ZonedDateTime firstOfWeek   zdt with   ChronoField DAY OF WEEK   1       ISO 8601  Monday is first day of week  firstOfWeek   firstOfWeek toLocalDate    atStartOfDay   zoneId    ZonedDateTime firstOfNextWeek   firstOfWeek plusWeeks   1         That week runs from  2015-11-02T00 00-05 00 America Montreal  to 2015-11-09T00 00-05 00 America Montreal    And same for the month   ZonedDateTime firstOfMonth   zdt with   ChronoField DAY OF MONTH   1    firstOfMonth   firstOfMonth toLocalDate    atStartOfDay   zoneId    ZonedDateTime firstOfNextMonth   firstOfMonth plusMonths   1         That month runs from  2015-11-01T00 00-04 00 America Montreal  to 2015-12-01T00 00-05 00 America Montreal    YearMonth  Another way to see if a pair of moments are in the same month is to check for the same YearMonth value    For example  assuming thisZdt and thatZdt are both ZonedDateTime objects   boolean inSameMonth   YearMonth from  thisZdt   equals  YearMonth from  thatZdt         Milliseconds  I strongly recommend against doing your date-time work in milliseconds-from-epoch  That is indeed the way date-time classes tend to work internally  but we have the classes for a reason  Handling a count-from-epoch is clumsy as the values are not intelligible by humans so debugging and logging is difficult and error-prone  And  as we ve already seen  different resolutions may be in play  old Java classes and Joda-Time library use milliseconds  while databases like Postgres use microseconds  and now java time uses nanoseconds   Would you handle text as bits  or do you let classes such as String  StringBuffer  and StringBuilder handle such details   But if you insist  from a ZonedDateTime get an Instant  and from that get a milliseconds-count-from-epoch  But keep in mind this call can mean loss of data  Any microseconds or nanoseconds that you might have in your ZonedDateTime Instant will be truncated  lost    long millis   firstOfWeek toInstant   toEpochMilli        Possible data loss      About java time  The java time framework is built into Java 8 and later  These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java util Date  Calendar   amp  SimpleDateFormat   To learn more  see the Oracle Tutorial  And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations  Specification is JSR 310   The Joda-Time project  now in maintenance mode  advises migration to the java time classes   You may exchange java time objects directly with your database  Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4 2 or later  No need for strings  no need for java sql   classes   Where to obtain the java time classes     Java SE 8  Java SE 9  Java SE 10  Java SE 11  and later  - Part of the standard Java API with a bundled implementation    Java 9 adds some minor features and fixes   Java SE 6 and Java SE 7   Most of the java time functionality is back-ported to Java 6  amp  7 in ThreeTen-Backport   Android   Later versions of Android bundle implementations of the java time classes  For earlier Android   lt 26   the ThreeTenABP project adapts ThreeTen-Backport  mentioned above   See How to use ThreeTenABP

In this case      get today and clear time of day Calendar cal   Calendar getInstance    cal clear Calendar HOUR OF DAY     lt ---- is the current hour not 0 hour cal clear Calendar MINUTE   cal clear Calendar SECOND   cal clear Calendar MILLISECOND     So the Calendar HOUR OF DAY returns 8  9  12  15  18 as the current running hour  I think will be better change such line by   c set Calendar HOUR OF DAY 0     this way the day always begin at 0 hour
