Parse string with integer value to date

Question

I have a string with this value, for example: \"20130211154717\" I want it to be like \"2013-02-11 15:47:17\". How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can use the substring() method to get what you want:

String data = "20130211154717";
String year = data.substring(0, 4);
String month = data.substring(4, 2);
// etc.

and then string them together:

String formatted = year + "-" + month + "-" + . . .
