SimpleDateFormat - Unparseable date

Question

I try to convert String to Date.

Here is my code:

    SimpleDateFormat format =  new SimpleDateFormat(\"EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy\");
    Date da         


        

Answer 1

SimpleDateFormat is Locale specific. At least the pattern E and M are locale specific, because for example "Sun" or "Sunday" will not match for Locale.GERMAN or Locale.FRENCH etc. You better specify the used Locale

SimpleDateFormat format =  new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", Locale.US);

or use a format, which is not locale specific.
