We get this requirement while coding several time to convert epoch time (Unix time) to Datetime.
First thing, never store a epoch time in Integer and use Long always.
Below given code can be used to convert into datetime:
system.debug(DateTime.newInstance(1391529600000L));
To get the epoch from a datetime
variable you can just call the getTime()
instance method:
Datetime dt = Datetime.now(); Long l = dt.getTime(); system.debug(l); system.debug(DateTime.newInstance(l));To get the epoch from a datetime variable you can just call the getTime() instance method: Datetime dt = Datetime.now(); Long l = dt.getTime(); system.debug(l); system.debug(DateTime.newInstance(l));
