Java Time conversion

Hi I know this must a simple thing to do in Java but I can't seem to find it. I need to convert UTC time in millisec into GMT regular time. i.e.1155000000000 should be converted to Tue Aug 8 01:20:00:000 GMT 2006Thnx

Hi,

all you need is this:

long timemil = 1155000000000; //your millis value

Date date = new Date(timemil);

date.toString(); //returns date in classic GMT format

Thanks. but 1155000000000 is too big for a long and Date constructor doesn't accept a string.

Just add L at the end of the number. Sorry I forgot before.long timemil = 1155000000000L; //your millis valueJoYiCkMessage was edited by: JoYsTiCk

Known bug with forum software: the "L" at the end of a long doesn't show up within code tags. If you put *two* L's at the end of the long, then one L will show up.

One L:

long num = 15823059823;

Two Ls:

long num = 15823059823L;
