Finally I managed to understand what the problem was. I should hold on my string 11 PM instead of 23 PM What I don't understand is why parsing '23:00 PM' with SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm aa") returns 11 a.m.? My guess is it adds 12 hrs to the parsed date. I hope there is not much problem. ...
Hey guys, Can someone show me a piece of java code that parses this date: 2009-08-05 INTO THIS GMT DATE: 2009/217:00:00 ==== what i have so far is: java.text.SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd"); java.util.Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone(0, "GMT")); format.setCal...
I came upon a strange behavior that has left me curious and without a satisfactory explanation as yet. For simplicity, I've reduced the symptoms I've noticed to the following code: import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.GregorianCalendar; public class CalendarTest { public static void main(String[] args) { Sys...
I'm really scratching my head on this one. I've been using SimpleDateFormats with no troubles for a while, but now, using a SimpleDateFormat to parse dates is (only sometimes) just plain wrong. Specifically: SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"); Date date = sdf.parse("2009-08-19 12:00:00"); System.out.prin...
What's the nicest way to parse a date that can be in one of the following formats "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm" "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm" "dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm" without creating 3 SimpleDateFormats and parsing against each one. Thanks ...
Hi, I'm trying to format a date in Java in different ways based on the given locale. For instance I want English users to see "Nov 1, 2009" (formatted by "MMM d, yyyy") and Norwegian users to see "1. nov. 2009" ("d. MMM. yyyy"). The month part works OK if I add the locale to the SimpleDateFormat constructor, but what about the rest? I...
Let's consider the following code: SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss dd/MM/yyyy", Locale.US); long start = sdf.parse("10:30:00 30/09/2009").getTime(); long end = sdf.parse("10:30:00 30/10/2009").getTime(); Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.US); c.setTimeInMillis(start); System.out.println("Start = " + c.getTi...
I have a date stored as a java.sql.Timestamp in a database. The date is "2010-01-20T19:10:35.000Z" and is equivalent to 1264014635743 ms. Somehow, the date is formatted differently on the prod machine compared to the dev machine. The code to format the date is: private final static String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd"; public final stati...
I tried DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy"); Date d = fmt.parse("June 27, 2007"); Exception in thread "main" java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "June 27, 2007" The java docs say i should use four characters to match the full form. I'm only able to use MMM successfully with abbreviated months lik...
Today is Tuesday, February 9, 2010 and when I print the date I get the wrong date: SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); Date today = formatter.parse(String.format("%04d-%02d-%02d", Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR), Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MONTH), Calendar.getInsta...
In my database, I have a column type : datetime. Column data example : 2009-02-03 19:04:23.0 I'm using : SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S"); to define my date format.

Hi everyone, I went throe multiple posts about TimeZone and SimpleDateFormat on Google and Stack Overflow, but still do not get what I'm doing wrong. I'm working on some legacy code, and there is a method parseDate, which gives wrong results. I attached sample JUnit which I'm trying to use do investigate issue. First method *(testPars...
String format = "yyyyMMdd"; SimpleDateFormat formatter = getSimpleDateFormat(format); formatter.setLenient(false); Date date = formatter.parse("07312011",new ParsePosition(0)); System.out.println(date); This gives "2500-01-01 00:00:00" on jdk1.4 which is incorrect and returns null on jdk1.5 Why does this give "2500-01-01 00:00:00" on...
Hi, I've got a question about SimpleDateFormat class and the java.util.Date's compareto method: I'm constructing a Date object, then I format, finally I parse the formatted string and compare to the original date. DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MMMdd hh:mm:ss SSS"); Date originalDate = new Date(); String s = df.format(or...

I am trying to parse a date that looks like this: 2010-04-05T17:16:00Z This is a valid date per http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
