getting month name wrong with SimpleDateFormat

Question

I am having problem with this small piece of code

SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat(\"yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss\");

String str = \"2010-03-13 01:01:22\";         


        

Answer 1

mm stands for minute. You should use MM when parsing month:

SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
