I am trying to parse datetime string with SimpleDateFormat.parse()
but I keep receiving Unparseable date exceptions.
Here is the date format I am trying to parse: 2011-10-06T12:00:00-08:00
Here is the code I am using:
try {
String dateStr = "2011-10-06T12:00:00-08:00";
SimpleDateFormat dateParser = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy");
Date date = dateParser.parse(dateStr);
System.out.println(dateFormatter.format(date));
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
Which returns this error: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2011-10-06T12:00:00-08:00"
As far as I know this is the correct way to use the SimpleDateFormat class but I'm not fluent in Java so I could be mistaken. Any one know what my issue is?
