Covert milliseconds to time/date

Posted: Jun 5, 2004 6:14 AM

My Code:

Date d = new Date();
System.out.println (d.getTime());

This code get the milliseconds (a long number) of the current time. For example: 1086440827929
I konw this long number contains informations that are more than hours, minuntes, and seconds.

Could anybody help me to convert this long number into a time/date format? Is there any method can do this converstion?

Thanks a lot!

I would u a Calendar to solve this problem. You get the date in a similar way, just look at your API for all the other thing you can do.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
		
		System.out.println (cal.get(Calendar.HOUR) + ":" + cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" + cal.get(Calendar.SECOND));

See the java.text.DateFormat class: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html
