Converting String to Date

Question

How can I parse the following String "1394133302" which correspond of Date.toString value to a Date value (java utils).

Is it possible with a SimpleDateFormat?

Answer 1

Use code below

    new Date(Long.valueOf("1394133302"))

PS. It seems you date string is in second, maybe you want this(convert it to millesecond!)

    new Date(Long.valueOf("1394133302") * 1000L)

Answer 2

Just feed it back into the Date constructor:

long dateAsLong = Long.parseLong( "1394133302");
Date someDate = new Date(dateAsLong);
