How to parse month full form string using DateFormat in Java?

You are probably using a locale where the month names are not “January”, “February”, etc. but some other words in your local language.

Instant now = Instant.now(); Instant yesterday = now.minus(1, ChronoUnit.DAYS); System.out.println(now); System.out.println(yesterday); https://ideone.com/91M1eU Outdated answer You are subtracting the wrong number: Use Calendar instead: private Date yesterday() { final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -1); return cal.getTime(); } Then, modify your method to the following: … Read more

Java Date year calculation is off by year for two days

This is the problem: “dd-MMM-YYYY” YYYY is the week-year, not the calendar year. You want yyyy instead. The last two days of calendar year 2012 were in the first week of week-year 2013. You should normally only use the week year in conjunction with the “week of year” specifier (w).

Convert String to Calendar Object in Java

12:xx shown as 00:xx in SimpleDateFormat.format(“hh:mm:ss”)

Getting error java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: (at offset 0) even if the Simple date format and string value are identical

It says that your date-time string is unparseable at index 0. Index 0 is where it says Mon, so the three letter time zone abbreviation is not the first suspect. The locale is. “Mon” works as abbreviation for Monday in English, but not in very many other languages. So if your device has a non-English … Read more

SimpleDateFormat ignoring month when parsing

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 … Read more

Unable to parse DateTime-string with AM/PM marker

One possibility is that your default Locale has different symbols for AM/PM. When constructing a date format you should always supply a Locale unless you really want to use the system’s default Locale, e.g.: SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(“M/d/yy h:mm:ss a”, Locale.US)
