How can I convert a Timestamp into either Date or DateTime object?

Question

I\'m retrieving a timestamp object from a database using ResultSet.getTimestamp(), but I\'d like an easy way to get the date in the format of MM/DD/YYYY

Answer 1

You can also get DateTime object from timestamp, including your current daylight saving time:

public DateTime getDateTimeFromTimestamp(Long value) {
    TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getDefault();
    long offset = timeZone.getOffset(value);
    if (offset < 0) {
        value -= offset;
    } else {
        value += offset;
    }
    return new DateTime(value);
}
