;-) I had just finished an example for you of pretty much the same thing but
included formatting to illustrate the funky (and ugly) things you can do with
formatting patterns. For posterity, here it is:
import java.text.*;
public class TimeTest {
public static final long SECOND_MS = 1000;
public static final long MINUTE_MS = (60 * SECOND_MS);
public static final long HOUR_MS = (60 * MINUTE_MS);
public static final long DAY_MS = (24 * HOUR_MS);
public static final String FORMAT_PATTERN =
"{0,choice,0#0days|1#1day|1<{0}days}" +
"{1,choice,0#0hours|1#1hour|1<{1}hours}" +
"{2,choice,0#0minutes|1#1minute|1<{2}minutes}" +
"{3,choice,0#0seconds|1#1second|1<{3}seconds}" +
"{4,choice,0#0milliseconds|1#1millisecond|1<{4}milliseconds}";
public static String formatTime(long time) {
time = Math.abs(time);
long days = 0;
long hours = 0;
long minutes = 0;
long seconds = 0;
long ms = 0;
days = time / DAY_MS;
time %= DAY_MS;
if (time > 0) {
hours = time / HOUR_MS;
time %= HOUR_MS;
if (time > 0) {
minutes = time / MINUTE_MS;
time %= MINUTE_MS;
if (time > 0) {
seconds = time / SECOND_MS;
ms = time % SECOND_MS;
}
}
}
Object[] formatArgs = { new Long(days),
new Long(hours),
new Long(minutes),
new Long(seconds),
new Long(ms) };
return MessageFormat.format(FORMAT_PATTERN, formatArgs);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
long time = Long.parseLong(args[0]);
System.out.println(formatTime(time));
}
}
