Answer 1

Hi I tested below code that worked fine :

    long timeInMillis = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal1.setTimeInMillis(timeInMillis);
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
    dateFormat.format(cal1.getTime());
