How can I parse UTC date/time (String) into something more readable?

Question

I have a String of a date and time like this: 2011-04-15T20:08:18Z. I don\'t know much about date/time formats, but I think, and correct me if I\'m wrong, that\

Answer 1

You have to give the following format:

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
Date parse = simpleDateFormat.parse( "2011-04-15T20:08:18Z" );
