As already answered here: how to get milliseconds from a date picker

Just create a calendar and get time in millis

DatePicker datePicker = new DatePicker(this);
TimePicker timePicker = new TimePicker(this);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, datePicker.getDayOfMonth());
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, datePicker.getMonth());
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, datePicker.getYear());
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, timePicker.getCurrentHour());
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, timePicker.getCurrentMinute());

long millis = cal.getTimeInMillis();

Using Joda or (if available) Java 8 time is nearly always a cleaner solution. – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- May 29 '18 at 07:19
`java.time` was introduced in Java 8 alright, but *is* available for lower API level Android through [ThreeTenABP](https://github.com/JakeWharton/ThreeTenABP), the Android edition of the backport. – Ole V.V. May 29 '18 at 07:22

Override TimePickerDialog.onTimeChanged(). It will be called once the selected time changes. You can then cinvert the result to millseconds by doing some simple maths.
