Hi Marcus, if I get you correctly, you want to display a date in a readable format that comes from miiliseconds.
System.currentTimeMillis() returns a primitive long, so Date date = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()) will not work. Try this: long millis = System.currentTimeMillis(); Date date = new Date(millis); Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); c.setTime(date); System.out.println(millis + " ms correspond to mm-dd-yyyy" + c.get (Calendar.MONTH) + "-" + c.get(Calendar.DATE) + "-" + c.get (Calendar.YEAR)); Ciao, Tommaso On 6 Mrz., 09:33, Marcus <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > as I understand, the internal date-format is the time in millis, since > it is the format to store in sqlite and the format I get from > System.currentTimeMillis(). > > But how can I convert this back to a human readable format?
