You are wanting to convert from your timeformat to XML Date Format (ISO-8601) -

long timeStamp = 1430477311L;
java.util.Date yourDate = new java.util.Date(timeStamp*1000); //ms
SimpleDateFormat yyyyMMddTHHmmssSDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssX");
String date = yyyyMMddTHHmmssSDF.format(yourDate);

Simple Date Format reference.

Date Format (ISO-8601) is UTC time zone so must set time zone in the SimpleDateFormat instance to that. Otherwise you get the local time. – CodeMonkey May 14 '15 at 17:25

Simply pass the timestamp to a Date type:

Timestamp stamp = new Timestamp(inputTimestamp);
Date date = new Date(stamp.getTime());
//change the to the format that you need
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String timeStr = df.format(date);
