This might be easy, and I might no see the obvious, but I'm like 1 hour trying to figure out how to convert the date from string to a format I want.
String date_begin = "15-10-2013 10:25:31";
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); // This is the format I want
Date startDate;
try {
startDate = df.parse(date_begin);
String startDateString1 = df.format(startDate);
Log.e("New date: ", startDateString1);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
And the output is the following:
New date:(2799): 0021-04-04 10:25:31
How d'hell is displaying this output?
15-10-2013 10:25:31 is not in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format. Parse it with dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss instead.
Looks like you want to change the formatting. The solution is to use two SimpleDateFormats, one for parsing and another for formatting the output. Like this:
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
startDate = inputFormat.parse(date_begin);
String startDateString1 = outputFormat.format(startDate);
Log.e("New date: ", startDateString1);
you have to parse the date with a different format
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
The format of the date_begin , SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") is not same . Both should be in same format.

I am working on Android application in which I am saving and getting date from ORMLITE. I am using SimpleDateFormat for the formatting of the desire date, but except this pattern yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm it is not formatting it. My current date from server with desired dates with code is given below:
try {//EEEE , MMMM dd , yyyy hh:mm a
SimpleDateFormat mDBSDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
if(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("mLastMessageDate"))==null){//.equals("") ||cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("mLastMessageDate")).toString()==null){
mTxtLastMessageDate.setText("");
mTxtLastMessageLabel.setText("");
}else{
mTxtLastMessageDate.setText(mDBSDF.parse(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("mLastMessageDate"))).toString());
}
}catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
This is my server date:
2015-04-28 12:57:04.000297
After using above format i am getting this:
Tue Apr 28 12:57:04 GMT+04:00 2015
I want the pattern like this:
Tuesday, April 28, 2015 1:00 pm
Except above yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm format even if i am changing "-" to "," it is not working without any error
SimpleDateFormat.parse(String) returns a Date not a formatted String.
Use SimpleDateFormat.format(Date) instead.
Try this to format the date and time...
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));
Try this base on your requirement.
Input date as string
protected String dateFormat(String sqlDate) {
String strDate = "";
java.util.Date utilDate;
SimpleDateFormat sqlDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");//input format
try {
Calendar calTempDate = Calendar.getInstance();
calTempDate.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
utilDate = sqlDateFormat.parse(sqlDate);
calTempDate.setTime(utilDate);
strDate = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE MMMM dd,yyyy HH:mm a")
.format(calTempDate.getTime());//output format
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return strDate;
}
You can use this code to find out your solution.
SimpleDateFormat fromdateformate=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
try {
Date date=fromdateformate.parse("2015-04-28 12:57:04.000297");
SimpleDateFormat todtaeFormate=new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE MMMM yyyy hh:mm aa");
String finaldate= todtaeFormate.format(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
I am trying to format the date string to Date, and then get the month/day from it:
String strDate="2013-05-15T10:00:00-07:00";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss-z");
Date convertedDate = new Date();
try {
convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(strDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
SimpleDateFormat sdfmonth = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd");
String monthday= sdfmonth.format(convertedDate);
but it returns me current month/day i.e 5/18. Whats wrong?
3 things :
There is a mistake in your format : 2013-05-15T10:00:00-07:00 has no meaning, it should be 2013-05-15T10:00:00-0700 (with no colon at the end, this is a timezone defined in RFC 822. (Look at the docs about Z).
Change your format to yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ as mentionned by #blackbelt
you get a bad date because you re-format your date whatever happens during parsing. Re-format in your try block, if and only if parsing worked.
----------Update
String strDate = "2013-05-15T10:00:00-0700";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
Date convertedDate = new Date();
try {
convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(strDate);
SimpleDateFormat sdfmonth = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd");
String monthday = sdfmonth.format(convertedDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I don't know what is wrong in your code. for me it throws Unparseable exception like this.
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2013-05-15T10:00:00-07:00"
But the following way works well.
String strDate="January 2, 2010";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM d, yyyy");
Date date = dateFormat.parse(strDate);
System.out.println(date.getMonth());
But in java Date is deprecated as per http://docs.oracle.com/ . Try to use Calender instead of Date.
I hope this will help you.
I have a date in 02/21/2013 04:52:10 PM this format.
How do I convert it into MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm. I already tried few things but it keeps throwing error
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "02/21/2013 04:52:10 PM" (at offset 2)
I really need a help from date format expert.
Thanks
Try this one:
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a", Locale.getDefault());
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm", Locale.getDefault());
try {
System.out.println("Converted: " + outputFormat.format(inputFormat.parse("02/21/2013 04:52:10 PM")));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Output: 01-21-2013 16:52

Construct two SimpleDateFormat objects. The first you parse() the value from into a Date object, the second you use to turn the Date object back into a string, e.g.
try {
DateFormat df1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
DateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
return df2.format(df1.parse(input));
}
catch (ParseException e) {
return null;
}
Parsing can throw a ParseException so you would need to catch and handle that.
In addition, check this out:-

Date format conversion Android
You need verify if your String have / or - in the mask, case have / then you must used:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss", LOCALE_BR);
Date convert = sdf.parse(data);
case your String have - then you must used:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", LOCALE_BR);
Date convert = sdf.parse(data);
Or then, use the replace() for change of the caracter - for /
I am getting date into string in YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS format.I want to change it into the mm/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss and also it will show AM and PM how can I do this.please help me
Thank you
To get AM PM and 12 hour date format use hh:mm:ss a as string formatter WHERE hh is for 12 hour format and a is for AM PM format.
Note: HH is for 24 hour and hh is for 12 hour date format
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
String newFormat = formatter.format(testDate);
Example
String date = "2011/11/12 16:05:06";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd HH:MM:SS");
Date testDate = null;
try {
testDate = sdf.parse(date);
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
String newFormat = formatter.format(testDate);
System.out.println(".....Date..."+newFormat);
You can use the SimpleDateFormat for the same kinds of any date operations.
SimpleDateFormat sourceFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat DesiredFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS a");
// 'a' for AM/PM
Date date = sourceFormat.parse("2012/12/31 03:20:20");
String formattedDate = DesiredFormat.format(date.getTime());
// Now formattedDate have current date/time
Toast.makeText(this, formattedDate, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
just use the Time class. Try something similar to this.
Time time = new Time();
time.set(Long.valueOf(yourTimeString));
If you really need a Date object just try this.
Date date = new Date(Long.parse(yourTimeString));
Use android.text.format.Time to the conversion. You can pass the time as text and it will return you the time in desired format by using timeInstance.format("");
you need to provide formatter.
Refer to following:
Time : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/Time.html
Formatter: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/strftime.html
you can use any combination of formatter string to work with it :)
you can use SimpleDateFormat or DateFormat for this here is the example
SimpleDateFormat gsdf = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss a");
try{
Date d = gsdf.parse("2011/12/13 16:17:00");
System.out.println("new date format " + sdf.format(d));
}catch(Exception){
// handle exception if parse time or another by cause
}
public static String getFormatedDate(String strDate, String sourceFormate,
String destinyFormate) {
SimpleDateFormat df;
df = new SimpleDateFormat(sourceFormate);
Date date = null;
try {
date = df.parse(strDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
df = new SimpleDateFormat(destinyFormate);
return df.format(date);
}
and use like
getFormatedDate(strDate,
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", "mm/dd/yyyy")
I have a problem that I have Date String in the format "2011-09-28T10:33:53.694+0000". I want to change this Date format in MM/DD/YYYY, don't know How? Please suggest me for right result.
Something like this. Check the details for your "from" format.
DateFormat from = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss"); // not sure about the details
from.setLenient(false);
DateFormat to = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
to.setLenient(false);
Date d = from.parse(dateStr);
System.out.println(to.format(d));
String string = "2011-09-28T10:33:53.694+0000";
SimpleDateFormat inFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ", Locale.ENGLISH);
SimpleDateFormat outFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
Date date;
String output;
try {
date = inFormat.parse(string);
output = outFormat.format(date); // 28/09/2011
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Do it this way ---->
Create object Date class
Date date = new Date();
Create object of Simple Date Format class
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Note -> MM - will give month in character and dd and yyyy will give date and year in numeric
Convert date into string
String s = sdf.format(date);
and you are done with it...
