how to get date from milliseconds in android

This function will give you a String date from milliseconds

public static String getFormattedDateFromTimestamp(long timestampInMilliSeconds)
{
    Date date = new Date(); 
    date.setTime(timestampInMilliSeconds);
    String formattedDate=new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy").format(date);
    return formattedDate;

}

you can use like this

Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance();
cl.setTimeInMillis(milliseconds);  //here your time in miliseconds
String date = "" + cl.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.MONTH) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.YEAR);
String time = "" + cl.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.SECOND);

Convert the milliseconds to Date instance and pass it to the chosen formatter:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

String myDate = dateFormat.format(new Date(dateInMillis)));
