This is an example of how to get aDate from a specific time. The class Date represents a specific instant in time, with millisecond precision. Getting a Date from a specific long time implies that you should:

• Create a newDate object, using theDate(long date) constructor, with a long parameter. The constructor allocates a Date object and initializes it to represent the specified number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as “the epoch”, namely January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

We can print the date to check its value.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:

package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;import java.util.Date;public class DateFromSpecificTime {   public static void main(String[] args) {       //date after (random) years, months, days, ...    Date date = new Date(124840L * 13L * 12L * 48L * 1000L);    System.out.println(date);  }}

Output:

Mon Aug 16 14:12:00 EEST 1999
