Hi,
I think u r trying to convert a
String into Date format. For this, the code which u have posted first converts the string into long and then this long is passed to Date constructor.
If u look at the API, then u can c that the Date(String s) constructor is deprecated.
" Date(String s)
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by DateFormat.parse(String s)."
So, pls use DateFormat.parse(String s) for your intended purpose.
Thanks
Mahesh
