Unable to parse date String to Date

Question

im want to parse a date String to a Date. I was looking in some other questions, but I didn\'t find an answer.

String mail_delivered = \"31.10.2013 17:57:58          


        

Answer 1

In German, "Central European Time" is "Mitteleuropäische Zeit", so if you want to use Locale.GERMAN, change CET to MEZ and it works.

String mail_delivered = "31.10.2013 17:57:58 MEZ";

For a list of all the legal time zone strings for a given locale, use this:

DateFormatSymbols.getInstance(Locale.GERMAN).getZoneStrings()
