Hello i have date in this format 2013-10-31T19:00:00Z
now i want to display this date into yyyy/mm/dd
this format.i have used this code but its giving me exception kindly help me
String startDateString = "2013-10-31T19:00:00Z";
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd");
Date startDate;
try {
startDate = df.parse(startDateString);
String newDateString = df.format(startDate);
System.out.println("Date is "+newDateString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Try this
String DateStr="2013-10-31T19:00:00Z";
SimpleDateFormat sim=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date d = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(DateStr);
System.out.println(sim.format(d));
output 2013-10-31
That's because you're specifically telling Java to look for a 4-digit year followed by a 2-digit month and 2-digit date. Taken straight from the docs, what you want is
"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"
You can use SimpleDateFormat's parse
method to parse your date, and then use the format
method to output it in the format that you prefer.
Try this:
String startDateString = "2013-10-31T19:00:00Z";
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss'Z'");
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
Date date = inputFormat.parse(startDateString);
System.out.println("Date is " + outputFormat.format(date));
Output:
Date is 2013/10/31
You need a separate SimpleDateFormat
to parse the Datestring. Try this:
String startDateString = "2013-10-31T19:00:00Z";
DateFormat originalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd'T'HH:MM:SS'Z'");
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd");
Date startDate;
try {
startDate = originalFormat.parse(startDateString);
String newDateString = df.format(startDate);
System.out.println("Date is " + newDateString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
You need two different DateFormat
. one for parse date and one for formatting date.
String startDateString = "2013-10-31T19:00:00Z";
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd");
DateFormat df1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:SS'Z'");
Date startDate;
try {
startDate =df1.parse(startDateString);
String newDateString = df.format(startDate);
System.out.println("Date is "+newDateString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String dateInString = "07/06/2013";
try {
Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
System.out.println(date);
System.out.println(formatter.format(date));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Here is simple example
Try this:
try {
String startDateString = "2013-10-31T19:00:00Z";
DateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss'Z'");
DateFormat output = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
Date date = input.parse(startDateString);
System.out.println("Date is " + output.format(date));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Pointing an another simple mistake in your code
You coded as DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd");
here mm
is for minutes
, for month
use MM
