Answer 1

use this..

String getTime(String milliseconds) {

    String time = "";
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.setTimeInMillis(Long.parseLong(milliseconds));

    time = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR) + " : " + cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

    if(cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM)==0)
        time=time+" AM";
    else
        time=time+" PM";

    return time;

}
