java - How can I get Date in MM/DD/YY format from Timestamp

Question

I want to get the Date in MM/DD/YY format from a timestamp.

I have used the below method but it does not gives proper output

final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTimeInMillis(Long.parseLong(1306249409));    
Log.d("Date--",""+cal.DAY_OF_MONTH);    
Log.d("Month--",""+cal.MONTH);    
Log.d("Year--",""+cal.YEAR);

But its gives the output like below

Date--5 Month--2 Year--1

The correct date is 24 May 2010 for Timestamp - 1306249409

Note - Timestamp is received by a webservice which is used in my application.

Better Approach

Simply Use SimpleDateFormat

new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(new Date(timeStampMillisInLong));

Mistake in your Approach

DAY_OF_MONTH ,MONTH, .. etc are just constant int value used by Calendar class internally

You can get the date represented by cal by cal.get(Calendar.DATE)
