Having some troubles and can't find a quick answer..
Im trying to store a date within a string, and later fetch it to convert it back to a date.
However when storing the date using:
string tmp = new Date().toString();
And then trying to convert it back using
Date date = new Date(tmp);
I get the Exception type
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
with my Android 2.2 device. Does work with 2.2 & 2.3 emus tho.
Any tips on what other way i can store and convert back?
You could use SimpleDateFormat with its methods parse() and format().
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS");
String tmp = sdf.format(new Date());
Date date = sdf.parse(tmp);
Do you need it to be a string? long is easier :)
do
long time = new Date().getTime();
Date date = new Date(time);
then you dont' have to parse
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
// to string
String dateStr = formatter.format(new Date());
// to date
Date date = formatter.parse(dateStr);
use SimpleDateFormat as shown below.
SimpleDateFormat formatter= new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
//this will convert date into string.
String temp = formatter.format(currentDate.getTime());
//this will convert string into date format.
Date date=(Date)formatter.parse(temp);

In PHP to convert a string to DateTime() its very very easy:
$dateTime = new DateTime("2013-12-11 10:109:08");
echo $dateTime->format("d/m/Y"); // output 11/12/2013
What is the equivalent in Java? I've seen a lot of questions in stackoverflow. I cant find a way to solve this problem.
My last try is:
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm", Locale.ITALIAN);
return dateFormat.format(new Date(datetime)).toString();
This crash application. Android Studio tells me that Date(java.lang.String) is deprecated.
Can someone help me?
// First convert the String to a Date
String dateTime = "2013-11-12 13:14:15";
SimpleDateFormat dateParser = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",Locale.ITALIAN);
Date date = dateParser.parse(dateTime);
// Then convert the Date to a String, formatted as you dd/MM/yyyy
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
System.out.println(dateFormatter.format(date));
You can let the parser / formatter take the timezone into account by using SimpleDateFromat.setTimeZone() if you have to deal with TimeZones that are not in your default locale.
try this
String time1="";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS",Locale.US);
GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Central"));
calendar.setTimeInMillis(yourmilliseconds);
time1=sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
Yes As of JDK version 1.1, Date(java.lang.String) is deprecated and replaced by DateFormat.parse(String s).
Parse it like that:
SimpleDateFormat formatter =
new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy", Locale.GERMANY);
Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
try {
date.setTime(formatter.parse("12.12.2010"));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Have a look at my Android date picker example here.
I am trying to cast a date format which is string resultset from database to a standard format, but using simpledateformat gives following error:

With De-bug I found out variable time_stmp has value "2013-04-19 17:29:06" I want to cast to this:
yyyyMMddhhmmss
Here's code:
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
ResultSet rs_dt = cmd1.executeQuery(dt);
String time_stmp = null;
while (rs_dt.next())
{
time_stmp = rs_dt.getString(1);
}
StringBuilder ts = new StringBuilder( df.format( time_stmp ) );
What is the best way to achieve this?
Your Simple DateFormat has the wrong datepattern. You have to parse it to date with the pattern of you DB, then parse it back to String.
Try it this way:
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
ResultSet rs_dt = cmd1.executeQuery(dt);
String time_stmp = null;
while (rs_dt.next())
{
time_stmp = rs_dt.getString(1);
}
Date d = null;
try {
Date d = df.parse(time_stmp);
} catch (ParseException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Prime.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
SimpleDateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
StringBuilder ts = new StringBuilder( df2.format(d) );
By the way:
If you want your output to be in 24h-Format, then you have to use the pattern yyyyMMddHHmmss
The problem is, format of the date retrieved from DB is yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss and you are trying to parse it with the format yyyyMMddhhmmss
You can do something like this
String date = "2013-04-19 17:29:06";
Date d = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss").parse(date);
SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
System.out.println(outputFormat.format(d));
You need to use DateFormat.parse() here since the argument is of type String. DateFormat.format() on the other hand is used to format Date objects as String.
StringBuilder ts = new StringBuilder(df.format(df.parse(time_stmp)));
Also, it's recommended to save date/time data as a TimeStamp in database instead of a String.
Like it was mention you need to use
SimpleDateFormat.parse()
Also if your string is in the form
`2013-04-19 17:29:06`
You will want to construct your SimpleDateFormat for reading in like this
`yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss` //make sure you use uppercase H for 24 hour times
Use SimpleDateFormat.parse() to convert a String to a Date.
Use SimpleDateFormat.format() to convert a Date to a String.
All together now:
SimpleDateFormat dbFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat stdFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
String s = stdFormat.format(dbFormat.parse(input));
You can modify the formats to suit your needs.
Hi you can use below code to format date as of your choice (Ex: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss)
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date calDate = calendar.getInstance().getTime();
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println("Calendar Date: " + calDate);
System.out.println("Your Choice Date format (yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss): "+dateFormat.format(calDate));
This will work
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-dd hhhh:mm:ss");
String time_stmp ="2013-04-19 17:29:06";
Date date=df.parse(time_stmp);
StringBuilder ts = new StringBuilder( df.format( date ) );
System.out.println(ts);
I want to compare two dates, for that i convert the string to date format.But during the conversion the date format changed to "02/01/2013" and "03/01/2014".It makes error in my logic.any one please tell me to how to compare two days in my date format.
String fdate="01/02/2012";
String tdate="01/03/2013";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date frmdt=new Date(fdate);
String s1 = sdf.format(frmdt);
Date todt=new Date(tdate);
String s2 = sdf.format(todt);
Date frmdate = sdf.parse(s1);
Date todate = sdf.parse(s2);
if(frmdate.compareTo(todate)<=0){
//process;
}
Try this:
String fs = "01/02/2012";
String ts = "01/03/2013";
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy", Locale.getDefault());
sdf.setLenient(false);
Date fdate = sdf.parse(fs);
Date tdate = sdf.parse(ts);
if (fdate.before(tdate) || f.date.equals(tdate)) {
//process;
}
You've got too much going on. It's much simpler.
It seems to me that you should be calling SimpleDateFormat.parse instead:
// Using the US locale will force the use of the Gregorian calendar, and
// avoid any difficulties with different date separator symbols etc.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy", Locale.US);
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); // Avoid DST complications
sdf.setLenient(false);
Date fromDate = sdf.parse(fromDateText);
Date toDate = sdf.parse(toDateText);
// Alternatively: if (!fromDate.after(toDate))
if (fromDate.compareTo(toDate) <= 0) {
...
}
I'd actually suggest that you use Joda Time if at all possible, where you could use a LocalDate type to more accurately represent your data.
You're doing it wrong :)
String fdate="01/02/2012";
String tdate="01/03/2013";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date frmdate = sdf.parse(fdate);
Date todate = sdf.parse(tdate);
if(frmdate.compareTo(todate)<=0){
//process;
}
You were passing to Date a not parsed date with your format. Also Date(String) is deprecated. DateFormat.parse(String) is the correct one.
I am trying to in insert date into sqlite using:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
String data = format.format(new Date(19900101));
System.err.println("Time is.."+format.format(19900101));
But i am getting 19700101 in log. i am getting same result even if i change the dates as 20000101 or any thing.
Any one suggest me why it happens?
the code is wrong
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
Date data = format.parse("19900101");
System.out.println("Time is.."+data );
when u use new Date(123) it expects some time in milliseconds i think
Change your code as for formatting current string to date :
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
Date convertedDate = (Date) format.parse("19900101");
SimpleDateFormat formats = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String fmconvertedDate =formats.format(convertedDate);
System.err.println("Time is.."+fmconvertedDate);
and output is :
Time is..1990-01-01 00:00:00
I am working on Java. I have a date for example: 20120328.
Year is 2012, month is 03 & day is 28.
I want to convert it into yyyy-MM-dd format.
I have tried it but it is not working.
How to do it?
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date date = new Date();
String ourformat = formatter.format(date.getTime());
If you want other than "MM/dd/yyyy" then just change the format in SimpleDateFormat
Find some examples here.
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
Date date = (Date)formatter.parse("01/29/02");
Take a look here. You will need to use the SimpleDateFormat class.
First you create the format using substring like
String myDate = "20120328";
String myConvertedDate = myDate.substring(0,4) + "-" + myDate.substring(5,6) + "-" + myDate.substring(7);
This produces the date as 2012-03-28
Then use simple date format to convert that into date if required.
You can use this one for Date formatting
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date date = new Date();
String ourformat = formatter.format(date.getTime());
And this one for getting TimeStamp
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Timestamp timestamp =timestamp=new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
String ourformat = formatter.format(timestamp);
