This is a simple code snippet that converts milliseconds to a dateformat that is more understandable by humans.
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long ms = 1359256734;
Date date = new Date(ms);
SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm");
System.out.println(dateformat.format(date));
}
}
The millisecond date is parsed into a Date object, and then printed at a specific format given by the SimpleDateFormat object.

Output of the above code:
