Get timeout time in Handler android

Question

I have this code for my splash screen

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            startActivity(new Intent(Splash.this, Home.class));
            Log.i(TAG, "Exiting Splash Screen");
            finish();
        }
    }, TIMEOUT_TIME);

is it possible to get what is the current time at TIMEOUT_TIME from inside the run(){}?

@Smashing I guess you misunderstood his question. – Seshu Vinay Jul 07 '15 at 05:08 — Seshu Vinay, Jul 07 '15 at 05:08

AFAIK, Handler doesn't provide any convenient method to do this. You have to save the initial time and calcualte elapsed time. Like this.

Using this function you will get current time at timeout.

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss");
                String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date());
                Log.e("Demo","==================================="+currentDateandTime);
            }
        }, 3000);

not current time, the time in between the TIMEOUT_TIME and the time of starting the Handler – Vishnu T B Jul 07 '15 at 07:15
Date currentDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()); using this line you have to get current time.you add this line in onCreate() method and also in run() method of handler.To get time difference long diffInMs = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime(); long diffInSec = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(diffInMs) – Darshan Mistry Jul 07 '15 at 08:39

To be more precise, I would use nanoTime() method rather than currentTimeMillis():

long startTime = System.nanoTime();
myCall(); 
long stopTime = System.nanoTime();
System.out.println(stopTime - startTime);
