public virtual long Millis ();
[<Android.Runtime.Register("millis", "()J", "GetMillisHandler:Java.Time.IInstantSource, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", ApiSince=34)>]
abstract member Millis : unit -> int64
override this.Millis : unit -> int64

the current millisecond instant from this source, measured from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00Z (UTC), not null

Attributes

Remarks

Gets the current millisecond instant of the source.

This returns the millisecond-based instant, measured from 1970-01-01T00:00Z (UTC). This is equivalent to the definition of System#currentTimeMillis().

Most applications should avoid this method and use Instant to represent an instant on the time-line rather than a raw millisecond value. This method is provided to allow the use of the source in high performance use cases where the creation of an object would be unacceptable.
