I have this function
private void setDateInTopBar() {
Date bodyPartDate = DataManager.instance().getSelectedBodyPart().getPublicationDate();
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
String formattedDate = format.format(bodyPartDate);
TextView dateTxt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtImageDate);
dateTxt.setText(formattedDate);
}
but my month is 0, when day and year is working well, what's the problem?
Replace:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
With:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
as mm referes to minutes.. check http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
lower-case m is for minutes.
Try: "dd/MM/yyyy"
I should set MM not mm here
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
mm means Minutes, So you shouldn't use it for Month, change mm to MM.
Your code must be like this:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Instead of this:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
You can read all about these letters here

I know there are many ways to solve this but I am looking for a simple one line solution.
Typically it would be
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(new Date())
However this returns a string and I need an object of the Date type.
Using the GregorianCalendar class is okay too since it can return a Date type.
thanks
Try it out in this way:
String strDate = sdf.format(cal.getTime())
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat();
sdf1.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = sdf1.parse(strDate);
Date dateObj = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse( new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(new Date()));
Date d = (new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")).parse("2011-12-13");
or
Date now = new Date();
I know how SimpleDateFormat works, by grabbing sdfDateTime.format(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())); which is today's date from the System. Can SimpleDateFormat format a date by grabbing a string? Let's say you had a string: String dateStr = "04/05/2012"; how would you format that into: "April 5, 2012"?
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
inputFormat.setLenient(false);
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy");
outputFormat.setLenient(false);
String inputDateAsString = "04/05/2012";
Date inputDate = inputFormat.parse(inputDateAsString);
System.out.println(outputFormat.format(inputDate));
You can't just grab an arbitrary string and figure out what its format is.
check this one, it is very helpful library, easy to use & extend for such needs

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")
By using the below code i get 43753-07-31T04:40:44-0500
long installed = 1318562444444;
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
String dateString = formatter.format(new Date(installed * 1000L));
HELP :(
Installed is already in milliseconds.
Try this..
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
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...
