How to retrieve DATETIME format from Sqlite database

I have stored date (java.util.date object) in a DATETIME field of a Sqlite table. Now, how to retrieve this date which would be of the same format as java.util.date. Actually I want to compare the time difference (in milliseconds) between current date and the store date.

Solution

  • Retrieve as Cursor.getString() and pass that value to SimpleDateFormat to make the date object. There is no straight method for getting the date object.
