Android Format date with time zone

Question

I need to format the date into a specific string.

I used SimpleDateFormat class to format the date using the pattern \"yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:m

Answer 1

Simply refactor this code and replace the 'Locale.getDefault()' with the Locale you need

private SimpleDateFormat getDateFormat() {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(SimpleDateFormat.SHORT, SimpleDateFormat.DEFAULT, Locale.getDefault());
    String pattern = dateFormat.toLocalizedPattern();
    pattern = pattern.trim();
    dateFormat.applyLocalizedPattern(pattern);
    return dateFormat;
}

//And here is the usage

SimpleDateFormat sdf = getDateFormat();

sdf.format(new Date());
