I want to get the Date in MM/DD/YY format from a timestamp.
I have used the below method but it does not gives proper output
final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTimeInMillis(Long.parseLong(1306249409)); Log.d("Date--",""+cal.DAY_OF_MONTH); Log.d("Month--",""+cal.MONTH); Log.d("Year--",""+cal.YEAR); But its gives the output like below
Date--5 Month--2 Year--1
The correct date is 24 May 2010 for Timestamp - 1306249409
Note - Timestamp is received by a webservice which is used in my application.

The dates appear as, mm/dd/yyyy in the U.S. and as, dd/mm/yyyy outside the U.S. where mm is the month, dd is the day, and yyyy is the year. The time is displayed as, hh:mm:ss AM/PM, where hh is the hour, mm is minutes, and ss is seconds.
To calculate UTC time one has to subtract the offset from the local time, e.g. for "15:00−03:30" do 15:00 − (−03:30) to get 18:30 UTC. Show activity on this post. That timestamp has a timezone offset that is telling you what time it was and the UTC offset.
The T doesn't really stand for anything. It is just the separator that the ISO 8601 combined date-time format requires. You can read it as an abbreviation for Time. The Z stands for the Zero timezone, as it is offset by 0 from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Better Approach
Simply Use SimpleDateFormat
new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(new Date(timeStampMillisInLong)); Mistake in your Approach
DAY_OF_MONTH ,MONTH, .. etc are just constant int value used by Calendar class internally
You can get the date represented by cal by cal.get(Calendar.DATE)
