Como usar

Adicione o método em seu código ou baixe a classe e implemente-a no seu projeto.

        System.out.println("-> " + timerFormatter(125 * 1000));
        System.out.println("-> " + timerFormatter(999994900));
        System.out.println("-> " + timerFormatter(System.currentTimeMillis()));

Retorna String, o tempo já formatado.

Resultado

->  2 minute(s) 5 segundo(s)
->  11 dia(s) 13 hora(s) 46 minute(s) 34 segundo(s)
-> 49 ano(s) 6 mes(es) 9 dia(s) 20 hora(s) 6 minute(s) 58 segundo(s)
