If i understand your problem.. Try this...

Date d1 = new Date();
d1.setTime(time_in_milliseconds);

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(d1);

And then you can get day,month, year..

int number_of_day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)

Check this :

public Date getDateByFormat(String time, String format) {
    if (time == null || "".equals(time)) return null;
    try {
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format, Locale.ENGLISH);
        return sdf.parse(time);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        Log.d(Constants.TAG, "Could not parse date: " + time + " Due to: " + e.getMessage());
    }
    return null;
}

here format is your date string format. Like "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
