I have a problem in displaying the date,I am getting timestamp as 1379487711 but as per this the actual time is 9/18/2013 12:31:51 PM but it displays the time as 17-41-1970. How to show it as current time.
for displaying time I have used the following method:
private String getDate(long milliSeconds) { // Create a DateFormatter object for displaying date in specified // format. SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy"); // Create a calendar object that will convert the date and time value in // milliseconds to date. Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.setTimeInMillis((int) milliSeconds); return formatter.format(calendar.getTime()); }
String date = DateFormat. format ("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss", cal). toString();
getInstance(). getTime(); System. out. println("Current time => " + c); SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy"); String formattedDate = df.
You can simply use the fromtimestamp function from the DateTime module to get a date from a UNIX timestamp. This function takes the timestamp as input and returns the corresponding DateTime object to timestamp.
private String getDate(long time) { Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.ENGLISH); cal.setTimeInMillis(time * 1000); String date = DateFormat.format("dd-MM-yyyy", cal).toString(); return date; }
notice that I put the time in setTimeInMillis as long and not as int, notice my date format has MM and not mm (mm is for minutes, and not months, this is why you have a value of "41" where the months should be)
for Kotlin users:
fun getDate(timestamp: Long) :String { val calendar = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.ENGLISH) calendar.timeInMillis = timestamp * 1000L val date = DateFormat.format("dd-MM-yyyy",calendar).toString() return date }

For converting time stamp to current time
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault(); calendar.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND, tz.getOffset(calendar.getTimeInMillis())); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.getDefault()); java.util.Date currenTimeZone=new java.util.Date((long)1379487711*1000); Toast.makeText(TimeStampChkActivity.this, sdf.format(currenTimeZone), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
