Hi, thanks for you reply.
I realise that the upper limit of an integer may be exceeded by that number, but I thought the long data type was for larger numbers?
Either way, what I want to achieve is turning a timestamp, back into a readable date, which I can do in PHP, so I'm sure
java has a function to do it. The timestamp for about 2 minutes ago was this 1146261394418, which is 2 digits longer than the number in my example, but is returned through this function, as a long datatype.
So can anyone explain to me what's going on, or just simply, how I can turn my timestamp back into a human readable date.
Thanks
