Convert milliseconds into time format like this:

String time = String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis),
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis) -  
TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis)), // The change is in this line
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) - 
TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis)));

Looks like Unix/Epoch time to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

You can turn it into a Date object like this:

Date date = new Date(Long.parseLong("1371645212"));

Edit: looks like it's in seconds, not milliseconds, so multiply that number by 1000 first. That gives me the Date "Wed Jun 19 13:33:32 GMT+01:00 2013"

That is current time in milliseconds..

how i can convert it to regular time format?

try like this..

int seconds = (int) (milliseconds / 1000) % 60 ;
int minutes = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60)) % 60);
int hours   = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
