i have a string containing date in format yyyyMMddHHmmss (e.g.) (20180626170555) and i am using following code to convert it into date time
dateTimeFromString(json['dateTime'], "yyyyMMddHHmmss")
exception is:
FormatException: Trying to read MM from 20180623130424 at position 14
what can be the reason?
intl DateFormat
can't cope with your input string as it doesn't have any separators. The whole string gets consumed as the year. However DateTime.parse
does cope with this (nearly). It happens to expect precisely the format you have (again, nearly).
One of the acceptable styles to parse
is 20120227T132700
, which just differs by the T
date/time separator.
Try this:
String date = '20180626170555';
String dateWithT = date.substring(0, 8) + 'T' + date.substring(8);
DateTime dateTime = DateTime.parse(dateWithT);
DateTime.parse("string date here")
accept some formatted string only. Check below examples of accepted strings.
"2012-02-27 13:27:00"
"2012-02-27 13:27:00.123456789z"
"2012-02-27 13:27:00,123456789z"
"20120227 13:27:00"
"20120227T132700"
"20120227"
"+20120227"
"2012-02-27T14Z"
"2012-02-27T14+00:00"
"-123450101 00:00:00 Z"
: in the year -12345.
"2002-02-27T14:00:00-0500"
: Same as "2002-02-27T19:00:00Z"
=> String to DateTime
DateTime tempDate = new DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss").parse(savedDateString);
=> DateTime to String
String date = DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss").format(DateTime.now());
Reference links:
- Use
intl
for DateFormat
from flutter package (https://pub.dev/packages/intl)
- DateTime.parse() => https://api.dart.dev/stable/2.7.2/dart-core/DateTime/parse.html
You can use DateFormat to parse a DateTime from string to an object
// With en_US locale by default
var newDateTimeObj = new DateFormat().add_yMd().add_Hms().parse("7/10/1996 10:07:23")
// with a defined format
var newDateTimeObj2 = new DateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss").parse("10/02/2000 15:13:09")
Check the doc here.
From the docs, you need Single M
to month in year
:
dateTimeFromString(json['dateTime'], "yMdHms")

Might be it will be helped for others.
Thanks to @Richard_Heap this did my trick
new Text(timeago.format(DateTime.parse(mytimestring))
