Answer 1

use String.format which is able to convert long (milliseconds) to date/time string in different formats:

    String str;
    long time = 1306249409 * 1000L;  // milliseconds
    str = String.format("%1$tm/%1$td/%1$ty", time);  // 05/24/11
    str = String.format("%tF", time);                // 2011-05-24 (ISO 8601)
    str = String.format("Date--%td", time);          // Date--24
    str = String.format("Month--%tm", time);         // Month--05
    str = String.format("Year--%ty", time);          // Year--11
