Converting Timestamp as String to Date in android

My server is returning a timestamp 1322400600 in String, In my android application, i need to convert it like Nov 27, 2011 07:00am. I don't know how to do this please help me out.

- Thanks AvMishra

Solutions:

I used following code to get the desired value

long dv = Long.valueOf(timestamp_in_string)*1000;// its need to be in milisecond
Date df = new java.util.Date(dv);
String vv = new SimpleDateFormat("MM dd, yyyy hh:mma").format(df);

You can use new java.util.Date(Long.parseLong(timeInMillis)). With this Date object there are several ways to extract the date in your desired String format, the simplest way using Date.toString(). Alternatively, and more appropriately you can use a SimpleDateFormat with the exact pattern you want.

This should get you the same time format:

System.currentTimeMillis();
