How to get a Date object from String

Question

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(\"MM/dd/yyyy\' \'HH:mm:ss\");
Date d = (Date)formatter.parse(dateTime);
System.out.println(\"date in controller \"+d);
         


        

Answer 1

Try using format instead of parse.

Date date = new Date();
String DATE_FORMAT = "MM/dd/yyyy";      
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);        
System.out.println("Today is " + sdf.format(date) );
