You can convert Sms table date in to meaningful Date time like this.

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSS");
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
long now = 1293457709636L;
calendar.setTimeInMillis(now);
Log.i("time", "time"+formatter.format(calendar.getTime()));
