How should i store and compare date time in android?

Question

I am taking date from datepicker and time from timepicker. I create a date object out of it and store it as milliseconds in db. I am using sqlite database. I want to retrieve records for a particular date from db. If I compare field stored as milliseconds directly it will include time of the day also. How should I go about this complete thing?

Answer 1

You can then compare times just as in your example

long time1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
long time2 = ...;

if (time2 < time1) {
