Android Question Convert unix time to format HHmm

[Peter Simpson]

Linux Time Stamp?​

Hello all, I have no idea why I typed Unix in the title, sorry...

I've tried date utils and I've also tried the following,

Dim xxx As String = DateTime.Time(1395772166) * 1000

but I just can't get the correct 2 times once after another.

Basically I know that the following is correct:
A. 1395726989 = Tue, 25 Mar 2014 05:56:29
But I keep getting 01/17/1970 04:42:06, even the time is incorrect

I also know that this is correct:
B. 1395772166 = Tue, 25 Mar 2014 18:29:26
But I keep getting 01/17/1970 04:42:52, once again the time is incorrect.

Can somebody please shine a light on this for me

I just need to convert 1395726989 and 1395772166 to read HHmm format.

Thank you

'Converts unix time to ticks value.
Sub UnixTimeToTicks(UnixTime As Long) As Long

Hello @DonManfred , I already tried date utils as mentioned previously. I then put it in the following line and still got the wrong time

UPDATE: Sorted it.
Maybe I was just too tired to see it, but I got it now...

Dim unixtime As Long = 1395744770 ' 25.03.2014 10:52:50
Dim targetDate As Long = DateUtils.UnixTimeToTicks(unixtime)
DateTime.DateFormat = "dd.MM.yyyy"
DateTime.TimeFormat = "HH:mm:ss"
DateTime.SetTimeZone(0)
Log (DateTime.Date(targetDate))   '25.03.2014
Log (DateTime.Time(targetDate))   '10:52:50
