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?

    For 1280512800, multiply by 1000, since java is expecting milliseconds:

    java.util.Date time=new java.util.Date((long)timeStamp*1000);

    If you already had milliseconds, then just new java.util.Date((long)timeStamp);

    From the documentation:

    Allocates a Date object and
    initializes it to represent the
    specified number of milliseconds since
    the standard base time known as “the
    epoch”, namely January 1, 1970,
    00:00:00 GMT.
