How to save recorder audio with current date and time format

Question

private String getFilename() {
        String filepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
        File file = new File(filepath, AUDIO_RECORDER_FOLDER);
        if (!file.exists()) {
            file.mkdirs();
        }
        return (file.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + System.currentTimeMillis() + file_exts[currentFormat]);
    }

i want to save my file with current date and time formate, as my recorded file is not saving with current date and time format.

You have saved your file successfully but the name of the file is not like the one you want (current date and time format) , right? — Qandeel Abbassi, Apr 19 '17 at 18:39

Instead of doing this:

return (file.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + System.currentTimeMillis() + file_exts[currentFormat]);

do this:

String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
 return (file.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + timeStamp + file_exts[currentFormat]);

Thanks a lot this is working for me and i was stuck in from many hours. – Shayma Pathan Apr 19 '17 at 19:15
Happy to help. Please check documentation of functions before you use them. `System.currentTimeMillis()` method returns the difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. – Qandeel Abbassi Apr 19 '17 at 20:04
