how to convert Unix epoch time to Java Date

[vamshidhar nimbagiri]

Hi
I have Unix epoch time i.e.,"1187813802",
but when i try to convert into to Java Date as below..
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
String longModtime = formatter.format(new Date(Long.parseLong("1187813802")));

It should give "2007-08-22 20:16" but its showing Year as 1970,
Could anybody please tell me how to do this.

Thanks in Advance
Vamshi

Date takes a Long argument as a usable timestamp. That Long value is the number of *milliseconds* since the epoch. A UNIX timestamp is the number of *seconds* since the epoch. Hopefully you can figure it out now

//int unixTime = something();
long timeStamp = (long) unixTime * 1000;
 
Date d = new Date(timeStamp);
