I created this wonderful static method yesterday, and it worked just fine - yesterday
However, today it gives me this error. I guess it is from too many 0s before the Z.
Can anyone recommend how to parse in a concise way (Java 8) this type of String
format date - keeping in mind that it worked yesterday too, so ISO_INSTANT
is also a valid format for the String
?

DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT;
return LocalDateTime.from(f.parse(time));
}
You are parsing a String that is consistent with an ISO instant so you need to store the result in a Instant
instead of LocalDateTime
:
public static Instant parseTimeINSTANT(String time) {
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT;
return Instant.from(f.parse(time)); // could be written f.parse(time, Instant::from);
}
Note that this formatter handles correctly fractional seconds so you don't need to remove them. Quoting DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT
Javadoc (emphasis mine):
When parsing, time to at least the seconds field is required. Fractional seconds from zero to nine are parsed.
As to why it worked yesterday and not today, I have no idea...
Just for the sake of helping anyone seeing this question later.
You need to parse the ISO Date as Instant
, convert it to Instant
Object and then create a LocalDateTime
from it providing the zone Id. I'm setting the zone Id of UTC here.
The code is as follows
public static LocalDateTime getISODate(String dateString) {
DateTimeFormatter isoFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT;
Instant dateInstant = Instant.from(isoFormatter.parse(dateString));
LocalDateTime date = LocalDateTime.ofInstant(dateInstant, ZoneId.of(ZoneOffset.UTC.getId()));
return date;
}
