want current date and time in “dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SS” format

Question

I am using following code to get date in \"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SS\" format.

    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Calendar;
    import

If you are using JAVA8 API then this code will help.

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String dateTimeString = LocalDateTime.now().format(formatter);
System.out.println(dateTimeString);

It will print the date in the given format.

But if you again create a object of LocalDateTime it will print the 'T' in between the date and time.

LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(dateTimeString, formatter);
System.out.println(dateTime.toString());

So as mentioned in earlier posts as well, the representation and usage is different.

Its better to use "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss" pattern and convert the string/date object accordingly.
