I have checked your api documentation and the date you have in response is in unix time format as described here wall.post

You can convert it using the method described here Convert Unix time stamp to date in java

Once converted you can format the date as described below.

 private List feedItems;
TextView timestamp
 FeedItem item = feedItems.get(position);
Long timeObject = Long.parseLong(getTimeStamp());

//use the timeObject and convert it in the String as described
// in above link to convert timestamp in date object than in String

//Once available set it again in timestamp
timestamp.setText(formattedDate);
