How to convert ISO 8601 date (string) to Date?

How can I convert a String object to a Date object?
I think I need to do something like this:
Date d=(some conversion ) "String "
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date date = dateFormat.parse("1.1.2001");
For details refer to: SimpleDateFormat documentation
Date-to-String conversion is a relatively complex parsing operation, not something you can do with a simple cast as you are trying.
You'll have to use a DateFormat. It can be as simple as:
Date d = DateFormat.getDateInstance().parse("09/10/2009");
But this changes the expected date format depending on the locale settings of the machine it's running on. If you have a specific date format, you can use SimpleDateFormat:
Date d = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM yyyy HH:mm").parse("4 Jul 2001 12:08");
Note that the parse method will always expect one specific format, and will not try to guess what could be meant if it receives a different format.
See Sun's Java tutorial and the class SimpleDateFormat
Use a SimpleDateFormat with a format string, which matches your actual format:
SimpleDateFormat sdf =
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date d = sdf.parse("2009-10-09");
java.text.SimpleDateFormat that extends java.text.DateFormat abstract class.
DateFormat MYDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date today = MYDate.parse("09/10/2009");
you should parse the string with the SimpleDateFormat class
use
Date date = DateFormat.getInstance.parse( dateString );
You can convert String object into Date object using this method. and this Java code is tested and running component in my environment.
public static Date parseStringAsDate(String dateStr, String format) throws ParseException
{
if(null==dateStr || "".equals(dateStr))
throw new IllegalArgumentException("dateStr must not be null or empty");
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
return df.parse(dateStr);
}
dateStr = "17/05/2017"
format= "dd/MM/yyyy"

Why is Java's SimpleDateFormat not thread-safe? [duplicate]

I am converting Date to string format in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format to save in sqlite database
below is object declared for simple date format
public static SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Sometime it prepends pair of zeros in date as you can see in below image
Example Wrong date returns as as below
2018-08-25 02:32:0000
2018-08-25 02:32:0049
2018-0008-25 02:32:50
2018-08-24 0023:32:50
2018-08-0024 23:32:50
I have created custom funtion to correct this wrong date. But I want to know exact cause of this issue.
below is the code
public static String getCurrentDateTime() {
Date d = new Date();
String datetime = sdf.format(d);
if (datetime.length() > 19) {
datetime = correctDate(datetime);
}
return datetime;
}
I'm sure that if you don't use that static instance of SimpleDateFormat you will have no problem:
public static String getCurrentDateTime() {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date d = new Date();
String datetime = sdf.format(d);
return datetime;
}
See these links:

"Java DateFormat is not threadsafe" what does this leads to?
SimpleDateFormat is not thread safe that's why you should check if in your calling code there is no issue with that.

Conversion from 12 hours time to 24 hours time in java
(17 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am storing time in the database in this format: "hh:mm:ss" (example- 09:30:00) and then retrieving and trying to show it to users in this format: "hh:mm AM/PM" (example- 09:30 AM).
I'm using below code for converting it:
DateFormat currentTime = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
String startTimeInSF = currentTime.format(startTime);
String endTimeInSF = currentTime.format(endTime);
where startTime and endTime is in hh:mm:ss format, but the above code is producing this error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad class: class java.lang.String.
Please let me know how can I successfully convert the time from hh:mm:ss to hh:mm AM/PM?
I think you should parse your "hh:mm:ss" time into a Date Object, then use formatter to format it to "hh:mm a".
Like this :
DateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
try {
Date date = format1.parse("01:11:22");
SimpleDateFormat format2 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
String result = format2.format(date);
return result;
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I believe you're looking for the parse(String source) method. The format() methods take in a Date object and output a String representation of the object. the parse methods take in a String object and converts it to a Date object.
To do what you want, you'll need to have a DateFormat with hh:mm:ss, convert the database String to a Date using parse, and then use your existing DateFormat and use format on the Date object to get the output String to display to your user.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html
You need to change your code something like this, format function will not work directly on String object that is root cause of your exception.
DateFormat inputFormatter1 = new SimpleDateFormat"HH:mm:ss");
Date date1 = inputFormatter1.parse("22:10:11");
DateFormat outputFormatter1 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
String output1 = outputFormatter1.format(date1); //
Out will be 10:10 pm
I am trying to convert a English date from String format to Date and if possible get it as French format.
For example I get something in this format : "2014-07-21T14:31:08+0200"
I am using this line but this raise a ParseException any idea ?
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.Z");
You have a . in front of the Z inside the format.
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
Date date = simpleDateFormat.parse("2014-07-21T14:31:08+0200");
happily parses.

How to convert java.util.Date directly into desired Date format ?
I have tried to convert the date into string first and then again into date but it still takes date format as Mar 10,2011, i want this format as 10-03-2011
Its simple :) and SimpleDateFormat can help you out.
But if you have datestring then yes you need to parse the datestring to date and re-format it again to desired format(dd-MM-yyyy).
OP failed to mention that he is displaying these in a JTable. You need these things for your date column in your JTable.
A CellRenderer : This will display the date in its string format (Use Simpledateformat)
A TableModel : This holds the internal representation
Now when you sort the JTable, the column will sort on the internal data representation.
Just pass in your date object directy to this method and you'll get the date in desired string format
new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").format(date);
You can do like this
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String date = format.format(Date.parse(objectDate.toString()));
Create a SimpleDateFormat with the date format dd-MM-yyyy:
Date today = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
String date = dateFormat.format(today);
System.out.println("Today in dd-MM-yyyy format : " + date);
try this code.
String dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat, new Locale("en_US"));
String tDate = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println(tDate);
You can try this
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(string);
for 10-03-2011 your format should be "dd-MM-yyyy"
How can I take a string in a format such as: 2008-06-02 00:00:00.0 and convert it to: 02-Jun-2008?
Can I somehow take the original string, convert it to a Date object, then use a formatter to get the final output (rather than parsing the string myself)? Thanks!
You can use SimpleDateFormat to convert between a String and a Date object and vice versa based on a pattern. Click the API link, you'll see patterns being explained in detail. A 4-digit year can be represented with yyyy, a 3-character month abbreviation can be represented with MMM and so on.
First you need to parse the String of the first format into a Date object:
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
Date date = sdf1.parse(inputString);
Then you need to format the Date into a String of the second format:
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
String outputString = sdf2.format(date);
Note that you need to take the Locale into account as well to get the month to be printed in English, else it will use the platform's default locale to translate the month.
Use 2 instances of SimpleDateFormat class. One for converting your input string to date and second to convert date back to string but in another format.
Here is an example of using SimpleDateFormat.
DateFormat startFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S");
DateFormat endFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
String outputString = null;
try {
Date date = startFormat.parse(inputString);
outputString = endFormat.format(date);
} catch(ParseException pe) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(inputString + " is not properly formated.", pe);
}
You can definitely use SimpleDateFormat class like others have recommended.
Another suggestion if it applies in your case. If you are getting this data from a sql query you can also use to_char() method to format it in the query itself. For example: to_char(column_name,'DD-MON-YYYY')
