I think this would do the trick:

Date date = new Date(1495221086 * 1000L);
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss aaa");
simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Phnom_Penh"));
String dateFormated = simpleDateFormat.format(date);
Log.i("MyInfo", "dateFormated: " + dateFormated);

The actual date is off here (millis vs seconds). – Mick Mnemonic May 19 '17 at 21:26
I/MyInfo: dateFormated: 18-01-1970 14:20:21 下午 – Sophairk Chhoiy May 19 '17 at 21:30
Yes. You need to change the Timezone to "Asia/Phnom_Penh" – Rodrigo Butzke May 19 '17 at 21:34

You can do this using Java's standard (legacy) classes Date and SimpleDateFormat, as follows:

Date date = new Date(1495221086*1000L);
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(
    "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ssa", Locale.UK /* for displaying "AM" correctly */);
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Phnom_Penh"));
System.out.println(df.format(date));

This prints out

20-05-2017 02:11:26AM
