long timestamp to LocalDateTime


I have a long timestamp 1499070300 (equivalent to Mon, 03 Jul 2017 16:25:00 +0800) but when I convert it to LocalDateTime I get 1970-01-18T16:24:30.300

Here's my code

long test_timestamp = 1499070300;

LocalDateTime triggerTime =
                LocalDateTime.ofInstant(Instant.ofEpochMilli(test_timestamp), TimeZone
                        .getDefault().toZoneId());

Solution

  • You need to pass timestamp in milliseconds:

    long test_timestamp = 1499070300000L;
    LocalDateTime triggerTime =
            LocalDateTime.ofInstant(Instant.ofEpochMilli(test_timestamp), 
                                    TimeZone.getDefault().toZoneId());  
    
    System.out.println(triggerTime);
    

    Result:

    2017-07-03T10:25
    

    Or use ofEpochSecond instead:

    long test_timestamp = 1499070300L;
    LocalDateTime triggerTime =
           LocalDateTime.ofInstant(Instant.ofEpochSecond(test_timestamp),
                                   TimeZone.getDefault().toZoneId());   
    
    System.out.println(triggerTime);
    

    Result:

    2017-07-03T10:25
