I have a time string like 4:52 pm. I want to convert it in milliseconds for comparison with current time of system. How is it possible in android ?

You should really learn googleing and reading APIs.... – Opiatefuchs May 13 '15 at 13:07 — Opiatefuchs, May 13 '15 at 13:07

long millis = 0;
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
try {
      Date d = dateFormat.parse("4:52 PM");
      millis = d.getTime();
} catch (ParseException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}
