How to convert millisecond number to time format

new Date(long variable);

adds the variable milliseconds to 1.1.1970 and gives you the new date as a Date object.

if you want to convert milliseconds to seconds or minutes you should make calculations .For ex;

double sec = milliseconds / 1000;

double minutes = milliseconds / 60000;

what do u need exactly?

Actually I want to calculate the time difference between two given times so i have subtracted and got the value in milliseconds,I event got the conversion into hours,minutes,seconds,problem is after converting and when printing the result its coming as hh:mm:ss=4:12:9 but I want to print as 04:12:09 standard time format.So how to get the time like this.

I had to do the same thing just yesterday. I looked around a bit for a premade solution, then gave up & did it myself (wasnt that hard, but I wanted to avoid re-inventing something that might already be there):

long seconds = milliseconds / 1000;

String s = String.format("%1$02d:%2$02d:%3$02d", seconds / (60*60), (seconds / 60) % 60, seconds % 60);

I avoided the 'dateformat' classes because I wasnt sure how to tell it 'if I go over 24 hours, dont reset hour to 0 and increment day, instead show me 48 hours, 72 hours, etc'.
