The date format issue from java

Question

I get the date format from a joynet cloud api server:

2012-11-20T10:26:04+00:00\"

However, I have no idea to handle the last segment

Answer 1

Remove that : inside the time zone part if you are not using java 7

and use this :

SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");

See javadoc for SimpleDateFormat in Java 6

And

If you are using Java 7 then directly use this :

SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssX");

See javadoc for SimpleDateFormat in Java 7
