How to convert from timestamp to date in Qt?

Question

I have a Unix timestamp and I need to convert it to human readable date + time. How can it be done in Qt?

Answer 1

int unixTime = 1234567890;
QDateTime timestamp;
timestamp.setTime_t(unixTime);
qDebug() << timestamp.toString(Qt::SystemLocaleShortDate);

That should get you going. Like Matthew said, see QDateTime.setTime_t, as well as QDateTime.toString. The toString has an enumeration with several different options, as well as an overload where you can pass a string allowing however much customization you like.

Answer 2

QDateTime.setTime_t

Answer 3

You can use the static function: "fromTime_t", like:

qDebug() << QDateTime::fromTime_t(your_time_stamp).toString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
