If you want the string to be easily human readable NSTimestampFormatter
is probably the way to go. But if you don't care about that why not
just do something like this:
//to String
NSTimestamp outTimestamp = new NSTimestamp();
String tsString = Long.toString(outTimestamp.getTime());
//from string
NSTimestamp inTimestamp = new
NSTimestamp(Long.decode(tsString).longValue());

Hell, I suppose NSTimestampFormatter would be yet ANOTHER way of doing
this.
But in this case, I really do want to serialize it for storage in an
external store that only accepts Strings (the details do not matter).
I
guess NSTimestampFormatter might be one easy way of doing this. Is
there
a better one?

What's the right/easiest way to serialize an NSTimestamp to and
from a String?
I've never done this before; there seem to be so many different
ways, I'm
not sure the appropriate technique to use.
