Android SimpleDateFormat, how to use it?

Question

I am trying to use the Android SimpleDateFormat like this:

String _Date = \"2010-09-29 08:45:22\"
SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(\"         


        

Answer 1

It took a lot of efforts. I did a lot of hit and trial and finally I got the solution. I had used ""MMM"" for showing month as: JAN

Answer 2

Here is an easy example of SimpleDateFormat tried in Android Studio 3 and Java 9:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd", Locale.US); 
String strDate = sdf.format(strDate);

Note: SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); shows some deprecation warning in Android Studio 3 Lint. So, add a second parameter Locale.US to specify the Localization in date formatting.
