I'm trying to convert the following epoch time
1382364283
When plugging this into an online converter it gives me the correct results.
10/21/2013 15:00:28
But the following code
Long sTime = someTime/1000;
int test = sTime.intValue(); // Doing this to remove the decimal
Date date = new Date(test);
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String formatted = format.format(date);
this.doorTime = formatted;
Returns
16/01/1970 17:59:24
I've tried several other ways to convert this, is there something I'm missing?
An epoch time is a count of seconds since epoch. You are dividing it by one thousand, gettings the number of thousands of seconds, that is, kiloseconds. But the parameter that Date takes is in milliseconds. Your code should be:
long someTime = 1382364283;
long sTime = someTime*1000; // multiply by 1000, not divide
Date date = new Date(sTime);
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String formatted = format.format(date);
System.out.println(formatted); // 21/10/2013 10:04:43
I don't get exactly your result, but I get the same results as online converters I tried.
