Android - Format Timestamp in ListView with Cursor Adapter

Question

I am using a SimpleCursorAdapter to populate an Android ListView, and was wondering how I should go about getting all of the timestamps I get from a database, each in \"DATE

Answer 1

Store Unix epoch dates as INTEGER type in SQLite database. Then in Java, initialize them with new Date(value) (or value*1000, I'm not sure) and use SimpleDateFormat to format dates in list adapter.

I think that's the most convenient way for the limited information you've provided.
