You can get the timezone offset formatted like +01:00 with the SimpleDateFormat in Java 7 (yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX), or with the Joda‘s DateTimeFormat (yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSSZZ).
Date does not have any time zone. It is just a holder of the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. Take the same DateFormat that you used for parsing, set IST timezone and format your date as in the following example DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(“yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX”); Date date = sdf.parse(“2013-01-09T19:32:49.103+05:30”); sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(“IST”)); System.out.println(sdf.format(date)); … Read more
Use DateFormat.setLenient(false) to tell the DateFormat/SimpleDateFormat that you want it to be strict.
First, three-char months are to be represented by MMM. Second, one-two digit hours are to be represented by h. Third, Mar seems to be English, you’ll need to supply a Locale.ENGLISH, else it won’t work properly in machines with a different default locale. The following works: SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(“MMM dd yyyy h:mm:ss:SSSa”, Locale.ENGLISH); … Read more
If you are looking for a solution to your particular case, it would be: Date date = new SimpleDateFormat(“yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSS’Z'”).parse(“2012-05-20T09:00:00.000Z”); String formattedDate = new SimpleDateFormat(“dd/MM/yyyy, Ka”).format(date);
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.
Basically, you can simple use a Calendar which has the capacity to automatically roll the various fields of a date based on the changes to a single field, for example… Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(date); cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 120); date = cal.getTime(); Take a closer look at Calendar for more details. Yes, there is a way to … Read more
There are serious issues with SimpleDateFormat. The default lenient setting can produce garbage answers, and I cannot think of a case where lenient has any benefit. The lenient setting is not a reliable approach to produce reasonable interpretations of human entered date variations. This should never have been the default setting. Use DateTimeFormatter instead if … Read more
You can use SimpleDateFormat to do it. You just have to know 2 things. All dates are internally represented in UTC .getTime() returns the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. package se.wederbrand.milliseconds; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import java.util.TimeZone; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { SimpleDateFormat sdf = new … Read more
The result you are getting is absolutely right. Let’s analyze this: 17.08.2012 05:35:19:7600000 17: Day of month (17th) 08: Month of year (August) 2012: Year (2012) 05: Hour of day (5am) 35: Minute of hour (:35) 19: Second of minute (:19) 7600000: Milliseconds of second (7,600,000) Now, the way the VM sees this is that … Read more
