Question

i’m trying to retrieve the current date via unix time like this:

   long unixTime = System.currentTimeMillis()/1000;

    Date d = new Date(unixTime);
    StringBuffer tmp = new StringBuffer();
    tmp.append(d.getYear());
    tmp.append(" - ");
    tmp.append(d.getMonth());
    tmp.append(" - ");
    tmp.append(d.getDay());`

When i later print this out via tmp.getString() i get the following date 70 – 0 – 4 , is there something im missing ?

//Thx in advance

Those methods you are using are deprecated. You better use the GregorianCalendar class:

GregorianCalendar gregorianCalendar=new GregorianCalendar();            
StringBuffer tmp = new StringBuffer();
tmp.append(gregorianCalendar.get(GregorianCalendar.YEAR));
tmp.append(" - ");
tmp.append(gregorianCalendar.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
tmp.append(" - ");
tmp.append(gregorianCalendar.get(GregorianCalendar.MONTH));
