I have the following String:
18/07/2019 16:20
I try to convert this string into LocalDateTime with the following code:
val stringDate = expiration_button.text.toString()
val date = LocalDateTime.parse(stringDate, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm")).toString()
java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '18/07/2019 04:30:00' could not be parsed: Unable to obtain LocalDateTime from TemporalAccessor
What I'm missing?
I think this will answer your question:
val stringDate = expiration_button.text.toString()
val formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm");
val dt = LocalDate.parse(stringDate, formatter);
Edit 1:
It's probably crashing because you are using a 12hr Hour, instead of a 24hr pattern.
Changing the hour to 24hr pattern by using a capital H should fix it:
val dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(stringDate, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"));
Use below to convert the time from String to LocalDateTime, but make sure you are getting the time in String form.
String str = "2016-03-04 11:30";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, formatter);
Btw, If your String contains seconds as well like "2016-03-04 11:30: 40", then you can change your date time format to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" as shown below:
String str = "2016-03-04 11:30: 40";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, formatter);
Change your datetime format to "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm a" and provide a string date with additional AM/PM information, e.g. val stringDate = "18/07/2019 04:20 PM" or just use the 24 hour format "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm".
You may try using "-" instead of "/" on the date.
Just use LocalDate instead of LocalDateTime
