Solution 1 :
It is a standard practice to store the time as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch. When retrieving you can format it into dd-mm-yy or any format you want by using this. You can use the same process to store it in the format you want. However, it isn’t recommended.
Problem :
I want to store current Date and time in firebase Database, But it is in millsec format.I want to save this in regular format i.e dd-mm-yy hr-ms.I am using SErverValue.Timestamp.
String id=databaseuser.push().getKey();
User user=new User(id,getname,getgenre,ServerValue.TIMESTAMP);
databaseuser.child(id).setValue(user);
Toast.makeText(this, "User Added!..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

If you have “time” as the key & developers accessing the Firebase to “see” the data, it is evident that it’s a timestamp. So it’s better to implement standard practices.
