Answer 1

java.util.Date dateObj = new java.util.Date(timeStamp);

Here timeStamp is your long integer which is actually timestamp in millieseconds, you get the java date object, now you can convert it into string by this

SimpleDateFormat dateformatYYYYMMDD = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
SimpleDateFormat dateformatMMDDYYYY = new SimpleDateFormat("MMddyyyy");

StringBuilder nowYYYYMMDD = new StringBuilder( dateformatYYYYMMDD.format( dateObj ) );
StringBuilder nowMMDDYYYY = new StringBuilder( dateformatMMDDYYYY.format( dateObj ) );
