Kotlin convert TimeStamp to DateTime
I'm trying to find out how I can convert timestamp
to datetime
in Kotlin, this is very simple in Java but I cant find any equivalent of it in Kotlin.
For example: epoch timestamp (seconds since 1970-01-01) 1510500494
==> DateTime object 2017-11-12 18:28:14
.
Is there any solution for this in Kotlin or do I have to use Java syntax in Kotlin? Please give me a simple sample to show how I can resolve this problem. Thanks in advance.
this link is not an answer to my question
private fun getDateTime(s: String): String? {
try {
val sdf = SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy")
val netDate = Date(Long.parseLong(s) * 1000)
return sdf.format(netDate)
} catch (e: Exception) {
return e.toString()
}
}
Although it's Kotlin, you still have to use the Java API. An example for Java 8+ APIs converting the value 1510500494
which you mentioned in the question comments:
import java.time.*
val dt = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1510500494)
.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())
.toLocalDateTime()
It's actually just like Java. Try this:
val stamp = Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis())
val date = Date(stamp.time)
println(date)
