Date date = new Date();
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");//2018-02-05T18:00:51.001+0000
String text = dateFormat.format(date);
try {
Date test = dateFormat.parse(text);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
worked for me. With “SSSZ” instead of “SZ” at the end of the pattern.
