Question

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


        

Answer 1

You have mixed m and M.

mstands for minute and M for month.

Below is an example of a working format.

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
String dateInString = "07/06/2013"; 
Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
System.out.println(formatter.format(date));
