Java Data Type How to - Get time up to 6 digits of precision for seconds value

Question

We would like to know how to get time up to 6 digits of precision for seconds value.

Answer

import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
/*from  w w  w. j  a  va2s. c  om*/

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Date d = new Date(time);
    Timestamp t = new Timestamp(time);
    t.setNanos(123456789);
    System.out.println(d);
    System.out.println(t);
    DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'.'");
    NumberFormat nf = new DecimalFormat("000000000");
    System.out.println(df.format(t.getTime()) + nf.format(t.getNanos()));
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
