Answer 1

Use below to convert the time from String to LocalDateTime, but make sure you are getting the time in String form.

String str = "2016-03-04 11:30";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, formatter);

Btw, If your String contains seconds as well like "2016-03-04 11:30: 40", then you can change your date time format to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" as shown below:

String str = "2016-03-04 11:30: 40";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, formatter);
