copied!<p>I have time in milliseconds and I am displaying that time in my application in <code>"MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"</code> format, it is working fine.</p> <p><strong>Problem</strong>: if I change the timezone in android device it display different time in my application may be because of some timezone calculation.
