displaying timestamp in toast

Question

I need to display timestamp in hh:mm format along with a toasted text. I have tried adding +DateUtils.HOUR_IN_MILLIS which isnt working for me

 Toast savedToast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "Progress saved at"+DateUtils.HOUR_IN_MILLIS,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
        savedToast.show();

Edit: learnt from the answers that +Calendar.getInstance().getTime() does the job. Thanks. All the answers work great.

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
final int hour = now.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
final int minute = now.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
Toast savedToast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
            "Progress saved at"+String.valueOf(hour )+":"+String.valueOf(minute ),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    savedToast.show();

You can get current timestamp like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25264666/4310784

then u must just show it in your toast:

 Toast savedToast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
            "Progress saved at"+String.valueOf(tsLong),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    savedToast.show();

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm");     
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
String str_time = df.format(c.getTime());
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Progress saved at"+str_time,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
