I want to change my date format that is in as
String date ="29/07/13";
But it is showing me the error of *Unparseable date: "29/07/2013" (at offset 2)* I want to get date in this format 29 Jul 2013.
Here is my code that i am using to change the format.
tripDate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tripDate);
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy");
try {
oneWayTripDate = df.parse(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
tripDate.setText(oneWayTripDate.toString());
Try like this:
String date ="29/07/13";
SimpleDateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
SimpleDateFormat output = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
try {
oneWayTripDate = input.parse(date); // parse input
tripDate.setText(output.format(oneWayTripDate)); // format output
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
It's a 2-step process: you first need to parse the existing String into a Date object. Then you need to format the Date object into a new String.
