How to append L to long in Java

I have this long 1383903835525 but need to append L for Java to recognize it as a long otherwise I get the 'int is too long' error

So the en result will be 1383903835525L

Im trying to date.getDate(1383903835525); 

public String getDate(long milliseconds) {
        setDateFormat();
        return getResult(milliseconds);
    }

this works

date.getDate(1383903835525L);

but the server is sending me back this in the response 1383903835525

Should the server rather send back 1383903835525L ?

If the server response is a string, you can convert it to a long by calling Long.parseLong(string).

Long.parseLong(milliseconds);

The server most probably returns 1383903835525 as String. Even if it's not String, it is a legal long value.

However, when you write a number literal in your code, it is always assumed as int, hence the "int is too long" error. Thus, you have to explicitly declare the number as long by appending L. (i.e. 1383903835525L)
