I want to parse the date into a desired format but i am receiving an exception every time. i know it is easy to implement but i am facing some problem don't know where exactly.:
Exception: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2014-06-04" (at offset 5)
Following is my code:
private String getconvertdate(String date) {
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss",Locale.ENGLISH);
inputFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH);
Date parsed = null;
try {
parsed = inputFormat.parse(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
String outputText = outputFormat.format(parsed);
return outputText;
}
Input to method: 2014-06-04
Expected Output: 06-Jun-2014
I have followed some Ref. from Stackoverflow.com, but still he problem persist. Please Help.
You have no time part in your string: and the Month has only two character replace
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss",Locale.ENGLISH);
with
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd",Locale.ENGLISH);
