Change date string format in android

Question

I am getting date string from SAX parsing like this: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 07:55:29 +0000

Now, I want this string as : Apr 18, 2012 01:25 PM

Answer 1

The easiest solution is to use DateFormat's getter methods: The getDateTimeInstance DateFormat object formats date like that: Dec 31, 1969 4:00:00 PM, however there are those extra zeroes after 4:00

Date date = new Date();
String fDate = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(date);
System.out.println(fDate);
