Why my timestamp isn't showing correctly?

Please look at my code. http://w.trhou.se/caq80ndaxu

The timestamp that was printed out for my first treet is Sun Jan 18 07:27:27 UTC 1970

The timestamp that was printed out for my second treet is Mon Jan 19 09:55:41 UTC 1970

My epoch timestamp for the first treet is 1495647480L.

My epoch timestamp for the second treet is 1590941249L which is supposed to be in the year 2020 as opposed to 1970!

hi Wan Nor Adzahari Wan Tajuddin , Epoch timestamp it should be in milliseconds not Seconds

so you have to add 3 zero at the end 1590941249L (sec) = 1590941249000L (ms)

The class Date represents a specific instant in time, with millisecond precision
