Convert String to Date in java - Time zone

Question

I have a String, 2013-10-07T23:59:51.205-07:00, want to convert this to Java date object. I am getting parsing error.

date = new SimpleDateForma         


        

Answer 1

You should use XXX for the format -07:00, instead of Z and X.

   Date sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX")
           .parse("2013-10-07T23:59:51.205-07:00");

Look at the example of this docs.
