Dart/Flutter : Converting timestamp
Your timestamp format is in fact in Seconds (Unix timestamp) as opposed to microseconds. If so the answer is as follows:
Change:
var date = new DateTime.fromMicrosecondsSinceEpoch(timestamp);
to
var date = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(timestamp * 1000);
Full code for anyone who needs it:
String readTimestamp(int timestamp) {
var now = DateTime.now();
var format = DateFormat('HH:mm a');
var date = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(timestamp * 1000);
var diff = now.difference(date);
var time = '';
if (diff.inSeconds <= 0 || diff.inSeconds > 0 && diff.inMinutes == 0 || diff.inMinutes > 0 && diff.inHours == 0 || diff.inHours > 0 && diff.inDays == 0) {
time = format.format(date);
} else if (diff.inDays > 0 && diff.inDays < 7) {
if (diff.inDays == 1) {
time = diff.inDays.toString() + ' DAY AGO';
} else {
time = diff.inDays.toString() + ' DAYS AGO';
}
} else {
if (diff.inDays == 7) {
time = (diff.inDays / 7).floor().toString() + ' WEEK AGO';
} else {
time = (diff.inDays / 7).floor().toString() + ' WEEKS AGO';
}
}
return time;
}
Thank you Alex Haslam for the help!
You can use intl package, first import
import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
And then
int timeInMillis = 1586348737122;
var date = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(timeInMillis);
var formattedDate = DateFormat.yMMMd().format(date); // Apr 8, 2020
