SimpleDateFormat parsing date differently on some android devices

Question

I am parsing the date as:

public class Consts{
public static final SimpleDateFormat DATE_FORMATTER_WITHOUT_TIME_ZONE = new SimpleDateFormat(
            \"yyyy-M         


        

Answer 1

The difference is caused by different locales set up on devices.

To mitigate the locale differences, you should use particular locale while formatting the date string. Here is a sample from my code, solving the same issue:

new SimpleDateFormat(C.FORMAT_DATETIMEZ, Locale.US).format(new Date(time))
