Getting wrong month when using SimpleDateFormat.parse

Question

In my programm there is a very strange problem. Here you can see String birthday and Log to check it:

birthday = String.valueOf(bir         


        

Answer 1

Use:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

Use MM for month, mm for minutes as stated by documentation...

If you want to print a Date in a specific format, you should use:

 sdf.format(birthday)

or another SimpleDateFormat if you want to pring it in a different format...
