SimpleDateFormat “Unparseable date” Exception

Question

I am trying to parse datetime string with SimpleDateFormat.parse() but I keep receiving Unparseable date exceptions.

Here is the date format I am trying

Answer 1

You first need to format the value in "2011-10-06T12: 00: 00-08: 00".

Example: SimpleDateFormat dateParser = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH: mm: ssZ");

After, create the formating for formataction desired. Ex: SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd / MM / yyyy HH: mm: ss");

and after make parse for date. Ex: Date date = dateParser.parse (dateFormat); and print of date formated.

Below, one complete example.

String dataStr = "2011-10-06T12: 00: 00-08: 00";
SimpleDateFormat dataParser = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd / MM / yyyy HH: mm: ss", Locale.US);
Date date;
Try {
date = dataParser.parse (dataStr);
System.out.println (dateFormatter.format (date));

} cath (ParseException e) {

}
