Error trying to get date on Android CallLog.Calls

Question

Hey, I'm trying to get a date from CallLog.Calls on Android. I do like this:

import org.apache.http.impl.cookie.DateUtils;
import android.database.Cursor;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
            android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null,
            android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DATE + " DESC ");
 int dateId = cursor.getColumnIndex(android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DATE);
 String callDate = cursor.getString(dateId);
 String dateString = DateUtils.formatDate(callDate);

But the method formatDatedoes not allow Stringas a parameter, it needs a parameter Date. I tried to make a throw, but I do not think it is right. So, does anyone have an idea how to do this?

Thank.

Perhaps you can parse the string and get the date - http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/DateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String )
