String date into Epoch time

Question

I am little bit confused in dates. I am currently working on the weather app and everything works fine .. I just wanna handle this type of format into my own desirable forma

Answer 1

Use a SimpleDateFormat instance to parse the string into a Date object:

DateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssX");
Date date = parser.parse("2017-09-10T18:35:00+05:00");

And then use another SimpleDateFormat to display it:

DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMMMM h:mm a");
String formatted = format.format(date); // Sun, 10 September 1:35 PM
