How to convert the dateTime long into hh:mm:ss, dd/mm/yyyy format

Question

How can i convert the date-time which i have defined in java.Long to the format of 'hh:mm:ss, dd/mm/yyyy'. I get the output as Finishing-time = 1527666638657, where Finishing-time is in java.long. How can i convert this into 'hh:mm:ss,dd/mm/yyyy' format. Thank you.

public String convertTime(long time){
    Date date = new Date(time);
    Format format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss dd MM yyyy");
    return format.format(date);
}

While your answer is correct simple code-pastes are discouraged. Add some explanation around it maybe to have a good answer. Also the format you are using is not similar to the one OP asked for. – Ben May 30 '18 at 08:02

Please don’t teach the young ones to use the long outdated and notoriously troublesome `SimpleDateFormat` class. At least not as the first option. And not without any reservation. Today we have so much better in [`java.time`, the modern Java date and time API](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/datetime/) and its `DateTimeFormatter`. – Ole V.V. May 30 '18 at 08:06
@Ben ..updated but i don't think there is a need to explain the code, its already very simple and clear – hatched May 30 '18 at 08:08
Thank you all. Thank you for noticing so quick and asking me to search. Sorry i did search. Instead writing a long sentence and down voting, all i ask for help, maybe a link would help which i couldn't find. So i can really be faithful. Thank you @hatched for taking your time and helping out. – user9630935 May 30 '18 at 08:31
