Java calendar API get last millisecond of the day

Question

I need to get a date in normal style but at the end to print it with the very last millisecond in the day.

for example: 10/10/2012 --> 10/10/2012 23:59:59.999999

This is my code:

calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(givenDate);
calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, -1);
Date convertedDate = calendar.getTime();

But I get the milliseconds wrong: 10/10/2012 23:59:59:000999

Help please.

Answer 1

A millisecond is 1/1000th of a second , not a millionth of a second. So the answer would be right, but it seems that your millisecond field is too long.
