Java: convert seconds into day, hour, minute and seconds using TimeUnit
Simple method:
public static void calculateTime(long seconds) {
long sec = seconds % 60;
long minutes = seconds % 3600 / 60;
long hours = seconds % 86400 / 3600;
long days = seconds / 86400;
System.out.println("Day " + days + " Hour " + hours + " Minute " + minutes + " Seconds " + sec);
}
You can do like this to only use TimeUnit
:
public static void calculateTime(long seconds) {
int day = (int) TimeUnit.SECONDS.toDays(seconds);
long hours = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds) -
TimeUnit.DAYS.toHours(day);
long minute = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) -
TimeUnit.DAYS.toMinutes(day) -
TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(hours);
long second = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(seconds) -
TimeUnit.DAYS.toSeconds(day) -
TimeUnit.HOURS.toSeconds(hours) -
TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(minute);
System.out.println("Day " + day + " Hour " + hours + " Minute " + minute + " Seconds " + second);
}
or the slightly shorter but maybe not as intuitive
public static void calculateTime(long seconds) {
int day = (int) TimeUnit.SECONDS.toDays(seconds);
long hours = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds) -
TimeUnit.DAYS.toHours(day);
long minute = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) -
TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds));
long second = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(seconds) -
TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds));
System.out.println("Day " + day + " Hour " + hours + " Minute " + minute + " Seconds " + second);
}
It should be like
int day = (int)TimeUnit.SECONDS.toDays(seconds);
long hours = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds) - (day *24);
long minute = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) - (TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds)* 60);
long second = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(seconds) - (TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) *60);
EDIT Explanation:
- Day calculation is correct, it does not require explanation.
- TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds) will give you direct conversion from seconds to hours without consideration for days you have already calculated. Minus the hours for days you already got i.e, day*24. You now got remaining hours.
- Same for minute and second. You need to minus the already got hour and minutes respectively.
