Converting duration string into milliseconds in Java
duration, java, milliseconds
Solution
Here is one own written possible approach(assumption of same source format always)
String source = "00:10:17";
String[] tokens = source.split(":");
int secondsToMs = Integer.parseInt(tokens[2]) * 1000;
int minutesToMs = Integer.parseInt(tokens[1]) * 60000;
int hoursToMs = Integer.parseInt(tokens[0]) * 3600000;
long total = secondsToMs + minutesToMs + hoursToMs;
Problem
I apologize if this has already been discussed. I have a clip duration in a string: ``` 00:10:17 ``` I would like to convert that to value in milliseconds. (Basically 617000 for the above string) Is there some API that I could use to do this in one or two steps. On basic way would be to split the string and then add the minutes, seconds and hours. But is there a shorter way to do this? Thanks.
