I am receiving a timestamp like : 07/23/2019.08.45 from a system.
I need to convert this to Epoch.
I was not able to parse this format by using SimpleDateFormat.
I tried:
SimpleDateFormat SDF = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy.HH:mm");
Date dateInstance =SDF.parse("07/23/2019.08.45");
but it didn't work
I also tried to split and parse the time and date but still got the unable to parse error
Can someone please help.
What would be the most efficient way to get this done.
You are not providing the correct date format:
SimpleDateFormat SDF = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy.HH:mm");
Date dateInstance =SDF.parse("07/23/2019.08:45");
Notice : instead of .
I am currently struggling to refactor this piece of old code to use the new java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter because it is used in our main logging component where this creates unnecessary garbage.
private String getFormattedDate(final Date date) {
// a new instance is created foreach log message
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
return dateFormat.format(date);
}
I already tried the new ISO_INSTANT formater like:
DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT.format(date.toInstant());
but this gives (slightly) different output as before.
My test shows:
Expected: is "2013-10-22T05:23:48.397+0200"
but: was "2013-10-22T03:23:48.397Z"
So I need the time zone offset to be included in the format string as shown in Expected.
I know about the DateTimeFormatterBuilder but I didnt manage to build it in a way to get my desired format output.
How would I need to do this?
I know I can always fall back to using a single thread local SimpleDateFormat instance but I would like to use the new java.time stuff :-)
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT.format(date.toInstant()));
// output: 2015-11-22T14:46:08.776Z
System.out.println(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME.format(
date.toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())));
// output: 2015-11-22T15:46:08.776+01:00
System.out.println(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME
.withZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())
.format(date.toInstant()));
// output: 2015-11-22T15:46:08.776+01:00
I want to parse a java Date object to the format like below
I tied the below codes
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateFormat dfz = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
Date date = new Date();
String d = dfz.format(date);
System.out.println(d);
then the out put will be like
I checked this SO question and using that I could get the below format
Is there any built-in functionality in java to parse a date object to the first where the th is a superscript format or do I need to do it manually ? And how to do it manually ?
What is the easiest way to do this ?
Based on the UI you are using you need to handle super script separately.
for HTML simply use tag 17th (17<sup>th</sup>)
I have used SimpleDateFormat to parse Strings into Dates many times in the past, but today I ran across an error that I cannot seem to see.
I am parsing a csv, and I have this:
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
Date date = dateFormat.parse(nextLine[0]);
I get this error
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2011-06-17 21:43:17.493"
It looks to me like the format matches the string when referencing the javadoc for SimpleDateFormat here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
am I missing something with SimpleDateFormat?
Nothing is worng with your code. You just have invisible symbols at this line
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
You probably copied it from a PDF file or other source that inject that symbols into your text.
Try to copy it manually and it will be fine. It work for me after I done so.
I am trying to use setDate() in a PreparedStatement, however the date that I have is in the format of 2008-07-31. The code is:
pstmt.setDate(f++, (Date) DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT).parse(value.substring(0, 10)));
However, it gives me the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2008-07-31"
Why is this?
If you have a very specific date, don't ask Java to use a default date format - set it yourself.
For example:
DateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = parser.parse(value.substring(0, 10));
You should also potentially set the time zone of the parser... my guess is that UTC is the most appropriate time zone here.
Note that this has nothing to do with prepared statements as such - it's just date parsing.
(As an alternative to using DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat, you could use Joda Time which has a nicer API and thread-safe formatters/parsers. You can ask Joda Time to convert from its own types to Date values. Possibly overkill if you only need it for parsing here, but if you're doing anything else with dates, it's well worth looking into.)
You need make sure the default DateFormat is in yyyy-MM-dd format (usually it's a config in OS), or you can use SimpleDateFormat or java.sql.Date to parse date string.
java.util.Date d;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd");
d = sdf.parse ("2008-07-31");
// or
d = java.sql.Date.valueOf ("2008-07-31");
or, you could just set parameter as String, if the underlying database driver support the VARCHAR/CHAR to DATE conversion.
DateFormat.DEFAULT points to MEDIUM format and MEDIUM format looks like Jan 12, 1952. So, you may have create a SimpleDateFormat object with the format you are using.
I think there is mismatch in the format of the date that you are providing as input and the format in which you have specified while formatting which is default in your case.
SimpleDateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormay("yyyy-MM-dd");
Try using the same format for both the dates.
First convert String to Date and then set that to PreparedStatement. Check with below code.
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
Date convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
I'd use
pstmt.setDate(f++,
new java.sql.Date(
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
.parse(value.substring(0, 10))
.getTime()
)
);
