How to convert unix timestamp to iso 8601 in Flutter

I am getting date from a server as a unix timestamp, how can I convert it to ISO 8601 date format in flutter?

the date I receive:

1611694800000

How I want to convert it to be

2021-01-26T22:00:00.000+00:00

What I have done so far with no luck

    String s = '1611694800000';
    debugPrint("Recevied date is: $s");
    String dateS = DateTime.parse(s).toIso8601String();
    debugPrint("Converted date : $dateS");
    String dateStr = (dateS.split(".")[0].split("T")[0] + " 00:00:00").substring(1);
    debugPrint("Activation date: $dateStr");

I end up getting:

Unhandled Exception: FormatException: Invalid date format.

Use DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch:

var timestampMilliseconds = 1611694800000;
var datetime =
    DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(timestampMilliseconds, isUtc: true);
print(datetime.toIso8601String()); // Prints: 2021-01-26T21:00:00.000Z

(Note that the printed time is one hour off of your stated expectation, but I'm assuming that's a mistake in your expectation.)

The reason why you are getting invalid date format is because you have to provide date in string like '2021-04-19' and not milliseconds;

This package makes it easy to format dates time_formatter
