Milliseconds to Date in GMT in Java

Question

I need to covert milliseconds to GMT date (in Android app), example:

1372916493000

When I convert it by this code:

Calendar cal          


        

Answer 1

If result which looks incorrect means System.out.println(date) then it's no surprise, because Date.toString converts date into string representation in local timezone. To see result in GMT you can use this

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:ss MM/dd/yyyy");
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
String result = df.format(millis);
