java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: convert mm/dd/yyyy string to a date

Question

when i convert my string object in mm/dd/yyyy format to Date it gives me

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: \"09/17/2014         


        

Answer 1

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH);
Date journeyDate = df.parse(date); // gives you java.util.Date

If you want java.sql.Date then

java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(journeyDate.getTime());
