[FIXED] Convert Minutes to milliseconds Java/android

Issue

I am trying to convert given number of minutes into milliseconds.

For eg: 15mins or 20mins or 44mins should be converted to milliseconds programmatically.

I tried the below:

Calendar alarmCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();

alarmCalendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE,15);

long alarmTime = alarmCalendar.getTimeInMillis();

Log.e("Milli", "seconds"+alarmTime);

This doesn't give the right value? What is the best way to convert this?

Solution

TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(yourMinutes)

see TimeUnit javadoc (android)
