[Solved] Why is Android System.currentTimeMillis() not an accurate Timestamp? [duplicate]

Question

While epoch time is measured in seconds, System.currentTimeMillis() returns the time in milliseconds for more accuracy, which is the value you see in the example. If you divide it by 1000 you will get the time in seconds, which will convert to the current epoch time you expect.
