I am trying to format a date into required format. but i receive wrong date out put. here is what i am doing.
I receive the dates as following:
3/24/2012 8:25:03 AM
3/23/2012 2:57:01 PM
3/15/2012 9:28:01 AM
And want to show them as
Sun, Mar 24
Sat, Mar 23
Tue, Mar 15
Code I am using is as follows:
SimpleDateFormat sourceFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
SimpleDateFormat desiredFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EE, MMM dd");
Date dt = sourceFormat.parse("3/24/2012 8:25:03 AM");
String desiredDateString1 = desiredFormat.format(dt)
dt = sourceFormat.parse("3/23/2012 2:57:01 PM");
String desiredDateString2 = desiredFormat.format(dt)
dt = sourceFormat.parse("3/15/2012 9:28:01 AM");
String desiredDateString3 = desiredFormat.format(dt)
But instead of getting correct output, i get
desiredDateString1 = "Tue, Jan 24"
desiredDateString2 = "Mon, Jan 23"
desiredDateString3 = "Sun, Jan 15"
It Conciders the month as Jan instead of Mar ... y? Thanks in advance
SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
mm means minute in the hour. you should use MM
try with
SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
