Look at System.currentTimeMillis().

Forgot to add, if you're a newbie, c.l.j.help is probably the better group
to ask your questions in the future.

(new Date()).getTime () is the current time in milliseconds from Jan 1 1970
UTC. Alternative, use System.currentTimeMillis () which is also ms from
1/1/70.
