HumanTime

Para includes the class HumanTime written by Johann Burkard. This class makes it easy to convert a timestamp to an approximation in the form of “X minutes ago”.

For example you can do:

HumanTime ht = Utils.getHumanTime();
// prints 15 h 45 m
String s1 = ht.approximately(56720083L);


int timeOfEvent = 1399554448;
int timeNow = System.currentTimeMillis();
// calculate elapsed time
String s2 = ht.approximately(timeNow - timeOfEvent);
System.out.println("Event happened " + s2 + " time ago");
