Answer 1

You can try the following code:

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
    int hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    int minute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
    int second = calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);
    int date = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

Answer 2

System.currentTimeMillis()

You can use this function to escape creation of date object.

You can persist it as long and you always can create Date object of it.
