I'm trying to convert a millisecond time (milliseconds since Jan 1 1970) to a time in UTC in Java. I've seen a lot of other questions that utilize SimpleDateFormat to change the timezone, but I'm not sure how to get the time into a SimpleDateFormat, so far I've only figured out how to get it into a string or a date.
So for instance if my initial time value is 1427723278405, I can get that to Mon Mar 30 09:48:45 EDT using either String date = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd hh:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH).format(new Date (epoch)); or Date d = new Date(epoch); but whenever I try to change it to a SimpleDateFormat to do something like this I encounter issues because I'm not sure of a way to convert the Date or String to a DateFormat and change the timezone.
If anyone has a way to do this I would greatly appreciate the help, thanks!

Try below..
package com.example;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class TestClient {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
long time = 1427723278405L;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date(time)));
}
}
