I want to convert Time in seconds to day hour minute and second in Java

Question

For example I want convert 283392s to 3d 6h 43m 12s. Can this be achieved with SimpleDateFormat ?

Yes you can. Check the documents or search for it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25458832/how-can-i-convert-an-integer-e-g-19000101-to-java-util-date — Luna, Aug 06 '16 at 09:16
I have already achieved this using maths but i am looking for some simple solution. — Ovais Chaudhry, Aug 06 '16 at 09:18
No you should not do it with `SimpleDateFormat` or any other formatter which is designed to format points in time. What you need is a formatter capable of formatting ELAPSED time. Either you study external library solutions (like in Joda-Time or my lib Time4J), or you apply your own work-around (see TimeUnit-answer below). — Meno Hochschild, Aug 06 '16 at 15:02

In java 8 you can do the following one-liner:

import java.time.LocalTime;
System.out.println(LocalTime.MIN.plusSeconds(283392).toString());

That returns "6:43:12"

It should easily be done using TimeUnit like so:

 int day = (int)TimeUnit.SECONDS.toDays(seconds);        
 long hours = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds) - (day *24);
 long minute = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) - (TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(seconds)* 60);
 long second = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(seconds) - (TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(seconds) *60);

I want to convert Time in seconds to day hour minute and second in Java
