How can I convert the current time in milliseconds, which is a Long, to a date in specific format?
The format that I need is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm. This should be of type Date, not String.

You are confused. The type Date is a number of milliseconds since January 1 1970 midnight UTC. It has no inherent format. There is a default system format for a Date, but you cannot alter it. You will need to format your Date as a String if you need that particular String format.

java.util.Date tempin = pLabIn.getDate();
System.out.println(tempin);
java.util.Date tempout = pLabOut.getDate();
java.sql.Date labIn = new java.sql.Date(tempin.getTime());
System.out.println(labIn);
java.sql.Date labOut = new java.sql.Date(tempout.getTime());
The first System.out shows "Thu Feb 27 22:50:06 PKT 2014"
and the second "2014-02-27"
So it miss time. I want to take time as well.

Use a java.sql.Timestamp instead.

The toString() implementation for java.sql.Date will only give you the date in the format year-month-day.
This is also precised in the documentation:
Formats a date in the date escape format yyyy-mm-dd.
If you want to keep the time in your print statement, you can use a SimpleDateFormat instead.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(sdf.format(labIn));

I found answer to hijri date in Islamic calendar but the code is very complex.
The Question
is there simple function to get it as DateTime type ?

Try using the Joda-Time API IslamicChronology. It's not part of the Android API, download the JAR and add it to your build path to use it in Android projects.
See Joda-Time documentation for Islamic calendar system.
Example code taken from that documentation:
// setup date object for midday on May Day 2004 (ISO year 2004)
DateTime dtISO = new DateTime(2004, 5, 1, 12, 0, 0, 0);
// find out what the same instant is using the Islamic Chronology
DateTime dtIslamic = dtISO.withChronology(IslamicChronology.getInstance());

Need help making a better code, this one is so ugly [closed]

I have a query with the following data
85343
125242
65252
125655
185658
235758
Those are 24 hour times without the format. I tried parsing it with HHmmss to then give it the format hh:mm:ss a it kind of worked with the hours 12+ but with 12- it went to hell giving wrong times. I worked it out with the following code:
DateFormat dateFormat2 = new SimpleDateFormat("Hmmss");
DateFormat dateFormat21 = new SimpleDateFormat("HHmmss");
DateFormat dateFormat5 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a");
System.out.println((Query.getString(1).length() == 5) ?
dateFormat5.format(dateFormat2.parse(Query.getString(1)))
: dateFormat5.format(dateFormat21.parse(Query.getString(1))));
it solves the problem with the time errors as I get the correct times
8:53:43AM
12:52:42PM
6:52:52 AM
12:56:55 PM
6:56:58 PM
11:57:58PM
Is there anyway to make this better?

I wouldn't use two different DateFormat for parsing but only one :
DateFormat dateFormat21 = new SimpleDateFormat("HHmmss");
DateFormat dateFormat5 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a");
String s = Query.getString(1);
if (s.length()==5) s = "0"+s;
System.out.println(dateFormat5.format(dateFormat21.parse(s)));
But there's no real problem in your code apart calling getString more than necessary.

Try using some regex like this:
(\d?\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)
Match group 1 is the hours, match group 2 the minute, match group 3 the seconds.

what is the format in SimpleDateFormat for parsing a string ie 07/12/2013 into a date type? I am using the following code, but desired format is not comimg.
SimpleDateFormat formatter ;
Date notBeforeDate ,notAfterDate;
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/YYYY");
notBeforeDate = (Date)formatter.parse(notBeforeValue);
notAfterDate = (Date)formatter.parse(notAfterValue);

Assuming you are looking for a Java solution. Change the format string :
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date date = formatter.parse("07/12/2013");
Refer the documentation for the exact format string information.

Try this :
SimpleDateFormat formatter=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); ;
Date notBeforeDate ,notAfterDate;
notBeforeDate =formatter.parse("Your String format Date");
notAfterDate =formatter.parse("Your String format Date");

Hope it will help you.
