Timestamp to Date: A Guide on Conversion

Conversion Methods

Converting a Timestamp to a Date in Java can be done using the following methods:

• Date constructor: Timestamp extends Date, so a Timestamp object can be passed into the Date constructor to create a Date object.
• java.time.Instant: Java 8 introduced the Instant class, which represents a point in time. A Timestamp can be converted to an Instant using the toInstant() method, and then to a Date using the toDate() method.
• Joda-Time: The popular Joda-Time library provides various methods for converting Timestamps to Dates.

Example Using Date Constructor

The following code snippet demonstrates the use of the Date constructor to convert a Timestamp to a Date: Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()); Date date = new Date(timestamp.getTime());
