new date(long.parselong("/date(-588657600000-0400)/"));  

is there anyway, can construct new date object when response string in such formats. question related 1 asked earlier. java.lang.long.parselong exception

the exception thrown here "04-09 01:39:25.793: e/androidruntime(8011): java.lang.numberformatexception: invalid long: "588657600000-0400"

i tried @ calendar class, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/calendar.html not find method me date object without passing long.

what split input string in 2 values ?

date foo2 = new date(long.parselong("-588657600000") + long.parselong("-0400"));
