Time conversion from seconds to date issue

Question

I have the following Long variable holding epoch value in seconds, which I\'m trying to convert into a Date.

val seconds = 1341855763000         


        

Answer 1

I think your time is actually in milliseconds. If I convert 1341855763000 using this website it gives me your expected time and this as well:

fun main() {
  val millis = 1341855763000
  val date = Date(millis)
  println(date)
}

Alternatively, you can also use seconds:

fun main() {
  val seconds = 1341855763L
  val date = Date(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(seconds))
  println(date)
}

Just divide by 1000.
