Answer 1

intl DateFormat can't cope with your input string as it doesn't have any separators. The whole string gets consumed as the year. However DateTime.parse does cope with this (nearly). It happens to expect precisely the format you have (again, nearly).

One of the acceptable styles to parse is 20120227T132700, which just differs by the T date/time separator.

Try this:

String date = '20180626170555';
String dateWithT = date.substring(0, 8) + 'T' + date.substring(8);
DateTime dateTime = DateTime.parse(dateWithT);
