title: Convert string Date into timestamp in Android?
body: <p>I want to convert my date (which is in String format), e.g. 13-09-2011, into Timestamp. I used below code but I got the 2011-09-13 00:00:00.0
   as a result. But I want Timestamp like,1312828200000 format.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot understand how to convert that.</p>
  
  <p>My code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String str_date="13-09-2011";
  DateFormat formatter ; 
  Date date ; 
  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
  date = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date); 
  java.sql.Timestamp timeStampDate = new Timestamp(date.getTime());
  System.out.println("Today is " +timeStampDate);
  </code></pre>
