I have a program which reads a Dateformat from user once and for all at the beginning of program such as yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss a
Later on the program parses a File and use the Dateformat for all dates in the file. But recently I got a file, where 99% of the dates were 2014/09/01 12:00:04 AM So The user can input yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss a.
However one date in that file is simply 2014/09/01 where the date format yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss a fails.
Why can't yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss a format shorter dates such as in the format yyyy/MM/dd.
What I want is that the java program use the format yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss a to parse the following two dates below:
2014/09/01 12:00:04 AM
2014/09/01
Thanks
You have to use two formats. Check the example below
DateFormat df = new DateFormat() {
static final String FORMAT1 = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss";
static final String FORMAT2 = "yyyy/MM/dd";
final SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat(FORMAT1);
final SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat(FORMAT2);
#Override
public StringBuffer format(Date date, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition fieldPosition) {
return null;
}
#Override
public Date parse(String source, ParsePosition pos) {
if (source.length() - pos.getIndex() == FORMAT1.length())
return sdf1.parse(source, pos);
return sdf2.parse(source, pos);
}
};
System.out.println(df.parse("2014/09/01 12:00:04 AM"));
System.out.println(df.parse("2014/09/01"));

I am trying to convert string to date using date format and used the following code but its shows an error.
public static Date ConvertStringtodate(String Date) throws ParseException {
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
Date Teststart = dateFormat.parse(Date);
return Teststart;
}
public static void main(String[]agrs) throws ParseException {
System.out.println(ConvertStringtodate("2022.02.10 17:54:55"));
}
Here is the error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot
format given Object as a Date at
java.text.DateFormat.format(DateFormat.java:310) at
java.text.Format.format(Format.java:157)
At the main method, you are sending date as "2022.02.10 17:54:55". However, you wrote format of the pattern as "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss". Change the pattern at the SimpleDateFormat constructor as "yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss".
The problem for me was the slashes '/' in the date input. for some reason the. The input string was "01/01/1991" instead of "01-01-1991". So I just replaced the slashes with dashes and everything worked just fine.
private Date convertStringToDate(String payload) throws ParseException {
payload = payload.replace("/", "-");
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
java.util.Date utilDate = formatter.parse(payload);
return new Date(utilDate.getTime());
}

I have date in string object. I want to convert into Date object.
Date getDateFmString(String dateString)
{
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date convertedCurrentDate = sdf.parse(dateString);
return convertedCurrentDate ;
}
above function returning following output.
Fri Apr 22 00:00:00 IST 2016
but I want output in this format '2016-03-01' only
function should take string only.
function should return Date object.
I have done lot of research over web, but I got solution from one Expert.
Date getDateFrmString(String dDate)
{
java.sql.Date dDate = new java.sql.Date(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(sDate).getTime());
return dDate;
}
this is what I want.
Change the date format from
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
to
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy");
Hope this works
See this example
public Class DateFormatDemo{
public static void main (String args[]) {
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy);
String dateInString = "01/01/2015";
try{
Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
System.out.println(date);
System.out.println(formatter.format(date));
}catch(ParseException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
This link might help you with string to date object conversions
You are parsing with the wrong format try
String dateString="01-01-2016";
SimpleDateFormat sdfP = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date convertedCurrentDate = sdfP .parse(dateString);
String date=sdf.format(convertedCurrentDate );
System.out.println(date);
Output:
2016-01-01
DEMO1
And if you want the format to dd-MM-yyyy then no need to define seperate SimpleDateFormat object.
String dateString="01-01-2016";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date convertedCurrentDate = sdf.parse(dateString);
String date=sdf.format(convertedCurrentDate );
System.out.println(date);
OUTPUT:
01-01-2016

To format the string date you have to first parse the String to Date object using the same format of date which the String have then format it using the desired format as seen in the above code.
Date objects don't have a format. Only a String does. A Date object will be output with whatever format you tell it to be format as. It all depends on what the format of the DateFormat object is when you call .format(). Calling the toString() method on a Date object uses a DateFormat of "dow mon dd hh:mm:ss zzz yyyy".
Let's do it step by step:
You have a date as String in dd-MM-yyyy format.
You want to convert it into date. (for this you are using SimpleDateFormat)
Now you are printing the date. Question here is are you printing the converted date object or input string?
If its a date object then toString method is called of date class.
As per comment on java.util.Date class it's:
dow mon dd hh:mm:ss zzz yyyy
similar to
Fri Apr 22 00:00:00 IST 2016
So that coincides with what you get in output in the second approach. But how is that code even running is strange.
String inputStr = "11-11-2012";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date inputDate = dateFormat.parse(input);
Variable 'input' is not defined.
What are the possible solutions:
While printing date, convert it back to String using SimpleDateFormat as per the requirement.
Date d =new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String dStr = sdf.format(dateString);
System.out.printn(dStr);
Extending class java.util.Date and override toString, but that would be a bad idea.
I cannot format a date.
dateFormat.format() accepts a Date as argument. So I created a new Date()
It says the below Date() method is deprecated, and I get the below exception while running.
exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at
java.util.Date.parse(Date.java:598)
public class MyDate {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Date date = new Date("2012-02-16T00:00:00.000-0500");
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String stringDate = dateFormat.format(date);
System.out.println(stringDate); // how do I test this conversion??
}
}
My database has date of the format - 2012-02-16T00:00:00.000-0500
I need to convert it to string of the format : dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss
I'm using Java6
Thanks to #Andy Brown. In addition to what Andy Brown has answered, I'm posting the complete snippet
Complete Solution:
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class SampleDate {
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
DateFormat parseFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");
Date date = parseFormat.parse("2012-03-16T00:00:00.000-0500");
String strDate = parseFormat.format(date);
System.out.println(strDate);
// if you get date of type 'java.sql.Date' directly from database cursor like
//rs.getDate("created_date"), just pass it directly to format()
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String stringDate = dateFormat.format(date);
System.out.println(stringDate);
}
}
/*
Output:
2012-03-16T01:00:00.000-0400
16-Mar-2012 01:00:00
*/
you can also convert java.util.Date to java.sql.Date like this,
String dateString = "03-11-2012";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
java.util.Date date = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new Date(date.getTime());
// set the input param type as OracleTypes.DATE and pass the input param date as sqlDate
If you want to read in the date "2012-02-16T00:00:00.000-0500" you should probably use a SimpleDateFormat to parse it like so:
DateFormat parseFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");
Date date = parseFormat.parse("2012-02-16T00:00:00.000-0500");
Along with the rest of your code this writes:
16-Feb-2012 05:00:00
The parse format pattern letters are listed in the SimpleDateFormat documentation. The T is escaped with apostrophes.
This answer assumes Java 7, or you would be using the new date & time API from Java 8
I have an application which will ALWAYS be run in only one single time zone, so I do not need to worry about converting between time zones. However, the datetime must always be printed out in the following format:
yyyy-MM-dd hh.mm.ss
The code below fails to print the proper format:
public void setCreated(){
DateTime now = new org.joda.time.DateTime();
String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd hh.mm.ss";
created = DateTime.parse(now.toString(), DateTimeFormat.forPattern(pattern));
System.out.println("''''''''''''''''''''''''''' created is: "+created);
}
The setCreated() method results in the following output:
"2013-12-16T20:06:18.672-08:00"
How can I change the code in setCreated() so that it prints out the following instead:
"2013-12-16 20:06:18"
You aren't parsing anything, you are formatting it. You need to use DateTimeFormatter#print(ReadableInstant).
DateTime now = new org.joda.time.DateTime();
String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd hh.mm.ss";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern(pattern);
String formatted = formatter.print(now);
System.out.println(formatted);
which prints
2013-12-16 11.13.24
This doesn't match your format, but I'm basing it on your code, not on your expected output.
public static void main(String args[])
{
SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");//dd/MM/yyyy
Date now = new Date();
String strDate = sdfDate.format(now);
System.out.println(strDate);
}
out put 2013-12-17 09:48:11
try this
SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss");
Date now = new Date();
String strDate = sdfDate.format(now);
System.out.println(strDate);
demo
Try this:
org.joda.time.DateTime now = new org.joda.time.DateTime();
String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd hh.mm.ss";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern(pattern);
String formatted = formatter.print(now);
LocalDateTime date = formatter.parseLocalDateTime(formatted);
System.out.println(date.toDateTime());
And now in Java 9, you can use this:
LocalDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd hh.mm.ss"));
I'm trying to convert string to date format.I trying lot of ways to do that.But not successful. my string is "Jan 17, 2012". I want to convert this as " 2011-10-17".
Could someone please tell me the way to do this? If you have any worked through examples, that would be a real help!
try {
String strDate = "Jan 17, 2012";
//current date format
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy");
Date objDate = dateFormat.parse(strDate);
//Expected date format
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String finalDate = dateFormat2.format(objDate);
Log.d("Date Format:", "Final Date:"+finalDate)
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String format = "yyyy-MM-dd";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format, Locale.US);
System.err.format("%30s %s\n", format, sdf.format(new Date(0)));
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
System.err.format("%30s %s\n", format, sdf.format(new Date(0)));
Which produces this output when run in the PDT time zone:
yyyy-MM-dd 1969-12-31
yyyy-MM-dd 1970-01-01

I suggest using Joda Time, it's the best and simplest library for date / dateTime manipulations in Java, and it's ThreadSafe (as opposed to the default formatting classes in Java).
You use it this way:
// Define formatters:
DateTimeFormatter inputFormat = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MMM dd, yyyy");
DateTimeFormatter outputFormat = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
// Do your conversion:
String inputDate = "Jan 17, 2012";
DateTime date = inputFormat.parseDateTime(inputDate);
String outputDate = outputFormat.print(date);
// or:
String outputDate = date.toString(outputFormat);
// or:
String outputDate = date.toString("yyyy-MM-dd");
// Result: 2012-01-17
It also provides plenty of useful methods for operations on dates (add day, time difference, etc.). And it provides interfaces to most of the classes for easy testability and dependency injection.
Why do you want to convert string to string try to convert current time in milisecond to formated String,
this method will convert your milisconds to a data formate.
public static String getTime(long milliseconds)
{
return DateFormat.format("MMM dd, yyyy", milliseconds).toString();
}
you can also try DATE FORMATE class for better understanding.
You can't convert date from one format to other. while you are taking the date take you have take the date which ever format the you want. If you want the date in yyyy-mm-dd. You can get this by using following way.
java.util.Calendar calc = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
int day = calc.get(java.util.Calendar.DATE);
int month = calc.get(java.util.Calendar.MONTH)+1;
int year = calc.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR);
String currentdate = year +"/"+month +"/"+day ;
public static Date getDateFromString(String date) {
Date dt = null;
if (date != null) {
for (String sdf : supportedDateFormats) {
try {
dt = new Date(new SimpleDateFormat(sdf).parse(date).getTime());
break;
} catch (ParseException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
return dt;
}
Try this simple method:
fun getFormattedDate(strDate:String): String {
try {
val dateFormat = SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy")//old format
val dateFormat2 = SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy")//require new formate
val objDate = dateFormat.parse(strDate)
return dateFormat2.format(objDate)
} catch (e:Exception) {
return ""
}
}
