Java: Date from unix timestamp?

Question

I need to convert a unix timestamp to a date object. I tried this: java.util.Date time = new java.util.Date(timeStamp); Timestamp value is: `1280512800` The Date should be "2010/07/30 - 22:30:00" (as I get it by PHP) but instead I get `Thu Jan 15 23:11:56 IRST 1970`. How should it be done?

Answer 1

Looks like the timestamp you have is in "seconds from epoch" while the Date constructor takes in "Milliseconds from epoch"

Try:

System.out.println(new Date(1280512800L * 1000));
