How about just: Date expiry = new Date(Long.parseLong(date)); EDIT: as per rde6173‘s answer and taking a closer look at the input specified in the question , “1081157732” appears to be a seconds-based epoch value so you’d want to multiply the long from parseLong() by 1000 to convert to milliseconds, which is what Java’s Date constructor … Read more
You do not need any formatter to parse your input string You input string, 2006-03-25T10:30:00+12:00 is already in the default format used by OffsetDateTime#parse and therefore, you do not need to use a formatter explicitly in order to parse your input date-time string. m specifies the minute while M specifies the month You have wrongly … Read more
There’s no need to use custom serializers/deserializers here. Use jackson-modules-java8’s datetime module: Datatype module to make Jackson recognize Java 8 Date & Time API data types (JSR-310). This module adds support for quite a few classes: Duration Instant LocalDateTime LocalDate LocalTime MonthDay OffsetDateTime OffsetTime Period Year YearMonth ZonedDateTime ZoneId ZoneOffset
Short answer Date input = new Date(); LocalDate date = input.toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDate(); Explanation Despite its name, java.util.Date represents an instant on the time-line, not a “date”. The actual data stored within the object is a long count of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00Z (midnight at the start of 1970 GMT/UTC). The equivalent class to java.util.Date in JSR-310 is … Read more
java.time This was indeed a problem with java.util date-time API until JSR-310 was incorporated in Java SE 8. The java.util.Date object is not a real date-time object like the modern date-time types; rather, it represents the number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as “the epoch”, namely January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT (or … Read more
Parsing date and time To create a LocalDateTime object from a string you can use the static LocalDateTime.parse() method. It takes a string and a DateTimeFormatter as parameter. The DateTimeFormatter is used to specify the date/time pattern. String str = “1986-04-08 12:30”; DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(“yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm”); LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, formatter); Formatting date and … Read more
