Well parse a Date, and then Date has Method getTime() which returns long value, which is milliseconds since 1.1.1970. — michaeak, Feb 17 '20 at 14:16

As michaeak wrote: The integer number shows the number of milliseconds after 01.01.1970 00:00:00.

To convert this to a 64 bit integer you need to know the resolution and base of that 64bit integer.
