Short answer: The new API java.time is way better than the old world with java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar. So yes, the new API should be preferred in new code. For a quick overview: Once I had written a comparison of features in table form for various date-time-libraries. There is almost no feature which java.time is missing … Read more

For Android project you should use implementation ‘com.jakewharton.threetenabp:threetenabp:1.0.3’ Make sure you call AndroidThreeTen.init(this); before using the classes from the library. This will read the time zones data (included in the library). You can initialize the library in your Application class in the onCreate method just like it is recommended in the README.
TL;DR – you can capture it as a string with just @RequestParam, or you can have Spring additionally parse the string into a java date / time class via @DateTimeFormat on the parameter as well. the @RequestParam is enough to grab the date you supply after the = sign, however, it comes into the method … Read more
And there is… according to the User Guide (offline, see JavaDoc instead), you should use DateTimeFormatterBuilder to build a complex DateTimeFormatter e.g. DateTimeFormatterBuilder builder = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder(); builder.parseCaseInsensitive(); builder.appendPattern(“dd-MMM-yyyy”); DateTimeFormatter dateFormat = builder.toFormatter();
SimpleDateFormat will not work if he is starting with LocalDate which is new in Java 8. From what I can see, you will have to use DateTimeFormatter, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html. LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();//For reference DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(“dd LLLL yyyy”); String formattedString = localDate.format(formatter); That should print 05 May 1988. To get the period after the … Read more

tl;dr Instant and LocalDateTime are two entirely different animals: One represents a moment, the other does not. Instant represents a moment, a specific point in the timeline. LocalDateTime represents a date and a time-of-day. But lacking a time zone or offset-from-UTC, this class cannot represent a moment. It represents potential moments along a range of … Read more
