How to convert string to date object?

Question

String date=\"2006-06-21T15:57:24.000Z\";

How do I convert this String to a Date object without changing this format in Android?

Answer 1

I came here because this was supposedly an answered question of Covert RFC3339 DateTime to Date in java. However, Time is a deprecated class in Android since API level 22.

A simple answer is based on this one:

import com.google.api.client.util.DateTime;

Date date = new Date(new DateTime("2006-06-21T15:57:24.000Z").getValue());
