How can I convert minutes from unix time stamp to date and time in java. For example, time stamp 1372339860
correspond to Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:31:00 GMT
.
I want to convert 1372339860
to 2013-06-27 13:31:00 GMT
.
Edit : Actually I want it to be according to US timing GMT-4, so it will be 2013-06-27 09:31:00
.
This question is related to

unix-timestamp
You need to convert it to milliseconds by multiplying the timestamp by 1000:
java.util.Date dateTime=new java.util.Date((long)timeStamp*1000);
Java 8 introduces the Instant.ofEpochSecond
utility method for creating an Instant
from a Unix timestamp, this can then be converted into a ZonedDateTime
and finally formatted, e.g.:
final DateTimeFormatter formatter =
DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
final long unixTime = 1372339860;
final String formattedDtm = Instant.ofEpochSecond(unixTime)
.atZone(ZoneId.of("GMT-4"))
.format(formatter);
System.out.println(formattedDtm); // => '2013-06-27 09:31:00'
I thought this might be useful for people who are using Java 8.
