回顾@brent-nash的贡献，我们可以使用模函数代替减法并使用String。结果字符串的格式方法:

  /**
   * Convert a millisecond duration to a string format
   * 
   * @param millis A duration to convert to a string form
   * @return A string of the form "X Days Y Hours Z Minutes A Seconds B Milliseconds".
   */
   public static String getDurationBreakdown(long millis) {
       if (millis < 0) {
          throw new IllegalArgumentException("Duration must be greater than zero!");
       }

       long days = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(millis);
       long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis) % 24;
       long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis) % 60;
       long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) % 60;
       long milliseconds = millis % 1000;

       return String.format("%d Days %d Hours %d Minutes %d Seconds %d Milliseconds",
                            days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
   }

这个主题已经被很好地覆盖了，我只是想分享我的函数，也许你可以使用这些函数，而不是导入整个库。

    public long getSeconds(ms) {
        return (ms/1000%60);
    }
    public long getMinutes(ms) {
        return (ms/(1000*60)%60);
    }
    public long getHours(ms) {
        return ((ms/(1000*60*60))%24);
    }

long time = 1536259;

return (new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss:SSS")).format(new Date(time));

打印:

25:36:259

适用于API 9以下的Android

(String.format("%d hr %d min, %d sec", millis/(1000*60*60), (millis%(1000*60*60))/(1000*60), ((millis%(1000*60*60))%(1000*60))/1000)) 

对于那些寻找Kotlin代码的人:

fun converter(millis: Long): String =
        String.format(
            "%02d : %02d : %02d",
            TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis),
            TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis) - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(
                TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis)
            ),
            TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(
                TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis)
            )
        )

示例输出:09:10:26

这个答案与上面的一些答案相似。然而，我觉得这将是有益的，因为与其他答案不同，这将删除任何额外的逗号或空格，并处理缩写。

/**

 * 
 * @param millis
 *            The milliseconds
 * @param longFormat

 * @return A string representing how long in days/hours/minutes/seconds millis is.
