Here is that pretty snippet for converting long to specific date format:
I took source from: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7954038/619673
public static String getDate(long milliSeconds, String dateFormat) {
// Create a DateFormatter object for displaying date in specified format.
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
// Create a calendar object that will convert the date and time value in milliseconds to date.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(milliSeconds);
return formatter.format(calendar.getTime());
