How to format Joda-Time DateTime to only mm/dd/yyyy?

Question

I have a string \"11/15/2013 08:00:00\", I want to format it to \"11/15/2013\", what is the correct DateTimeFormatter pattern?

Answer 1

I think this will work, if you are using JodaTime:

String strDateTime = "11/15/2013 08:00:00";
DateTime dateTime = DateTime.parse(strDateTime);
DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MM/dd/YYYY");
String strDateOnly = fmt.print(dateTime);

I got part of this from here.
