我实现了一个简单的定时器，我认为它真的很有用:

public class Timer{
    private static long start_time;

    public static double tic(){
        return start_time = System.nanoTime();
    }

    public static double toc(){
        return (System.nanoTime()-start_time)/1000000000.0;
    }

}

这样你就可以计算一个或多个动作的时间:

Timer.tic();
// Code 1
System.out.println("Code 1 runtime: "+Timer.toc()+" seconds.");
// Code 2
System.out.println("(Code 1 + Code 2) runtime: "+Timer.toc()+"seconds");
Timer.tic();
// Code 3
System.out.println("Code 3 runtime: "+Timer.toc()+" seconds.");

在Java 8中引入了一个名为Instant的新类。根据文件:

Instant represents the start of a nanosecond on the time line. This class is useful for generating a time stamp to represent machine time. The range of an instant requires the storage of a number larger than a long. To achieve this, the class stores a long representing epoch-seconds and an int representing nanosecond-of-second, which will always be between 0 and 999,999,999. The epoch-seconds are measured from the standard Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z where instants after the epoch have positive values, and earlier instants have negative values. For both the epoch-second and nanosecond parts, a larger value is always later on the time-line than a smaller value.

这可以用于:

Instant start = Instant.now();
try {
    Thread.sleep(7000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
Instant end = Instant.now();
System.out.println(Duration.between(start, end));

打印pt7.001。

下面是打印好的字符串，格式化后的秒数，类似于谷歌搜索所需的时间:

        long startTime = System.nanoTime();
        //  ... methodToTime();
        long endTime = System.nanoTime();
        long duration = (endTime - startTime);
        long seconds = (duration / 1000) % 60;
        // formatedSeconds = (0.xy seconds)
        String formatedSeconds = String.format("(0.%d seconds)", seconds);
        System.out.println("formatedSeconds = "+ formatedSeconds);
        // i.e actual formatedSeconds = (0.52 seconds)

你可以使用spring core项目中的stopwatch类:

代码:

StopWatch stopWatch = new StopWatch()
stopWatch.start();  //start stopwatch
// write your function or line of code.
stopWatch.stop();  //stop stopwatch
stopWatch.getTotalTimeMillis() ; ///get total time

Documentation for Stopwatch: Simple stop watch, allowing for timing of a number of tasks, exposing total running time and running time for each named task. Conceals use of System.currentTimeMillis(), improving the readability of application code and reducing the likelihood of calculation errors. Note that this object is not designed to be thread-safe and does not use synchronization. This class is normally used to verify performance during proof-of-concepts and in development, rather than as part of production applications.

非常好的代码。

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
........
........
........
long finishTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

String diff = millisToShortDHMS(finishTime - startTime);


  /**
   * converts time (in milliseconds) to human-readable format
   *  "<dd:>hh:mm:ss"
   */
  public static String millisToShortDHMS(long duration) {
    String res = "";
    long days  = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration);
    long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration)
                   - TimeUnit.DAYS.toHours(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration));
    long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration)
                     - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration));
    long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration)
                   - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration));
    if (days == 0) {
      res = String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds);
    }
    else {
      res = String.format("%dd%02d:%02d:%02d", days, hours, minutes, seconds);
    }
    return res;
  }

如果你想要时间

long start_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
object.method();
long end_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
long execution_time = end_time - start_time;
