Date format parse exception – “EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss Z yyyy” [duplicate]

I’m going to assume that Locale.getDefault() for you is pl-PL since you seem to be in Poland.

English words in date strings therefore cause an unparseable date.

An appropriate Polish date String would be something like

"Wt paź 16 00:00:00 -0500 2013"

Otherwise, change your Locale to Locale.ENGLISH so that the SimpleDateFormat object can parse String dates with English words.
