I need to convert a unix timestamp to a date object.
I tried this:
java.util.Date time = new java.util.Date(timeStamp);
Timestamp value is: 1280512800
The Date should be "2010/07/30 - 22:30:00" (as I get it by PHP) but instead I get Thu Jan 15 23:11:56 IRST 1970.
How should it be done?
For kotlin
fun unixToDate(timeStamp: Long) : String? {
val time = java.util.Date(timeStamp as Long * 1000)
val sdf = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
return sdf.format(time)
}
Sometimes you need to work with adjustments.
Don't use cast to long! Use nanoadjustment.
For example, using Oanda Java API for trading you can get datetime as UNIX format.
For example: 1592523410.590566943
System.out.println("instant with nano = " + Instant.ofEpochSecond(1592523410, 590566943));
System.out.println("instant = " + Instant.ofEpochSecond(1592523410));
you get:
instant with nano = 2020-06-18T23:36:50.590566943Z
instant = 2020-06-18T23:36:50Z
Also, use:
Date date = Date.from( Instant.ofEpochSecond(1592523410, 590566943) );
