Question: how to convert 1495221086 to 20-05-2017 02:11:26am in Java?

Answer 1

I think this would do the trick:

Date date = new Date(1495221086 * 1000L);
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss aaa");
simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Phnom_Penh"));
String dateFormated = simpleDateFormat.format(date);
Log.i("MyInfo", "dateFormated: " + dateFormated);

Answer 2

You can do this using Java's standard (legacy) classes Date and SimpleDateFormat , as follows:

Date date = new Date(1495221086*1000L);
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(
    "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ssa", Locale.UK /* for displaying "AM" correctly */);
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Phnom_Penh"));
System.out.println(df.format(date));

This prints out

20-05-2017 02:11:26AM
