Creating a GregorianCalendar instance from milliseconds
Just get an instance of GregorianCalendar and setTime with your java.sql.Timestamp timestamp
:
Calendar cal=GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(timestamp);
Edit:
As peterh pointed out, GregorianCalendar.getInstance()
will not provide a GregorianCalendar
by default, because it is inherited fromCalendar.getInstance()
, which can provide for example a BuddhistCalendar
on some installations. To be sure to use a GregorianCalender
use new GregorianCalendar()
instead.
Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(23423434);
Calendar calendar = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(timestamp.getTime());
To get a GregorianCalendar object and not a Calendar object. Like Michael's answer provides, you can also do the following:
long timestamp = 1234567890;
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.setTimeInMillis(timestamp);
This assumes a UTC epoch timestamp.
