How to format a date String into desirable Date format

Question

I was trying to format a string into date.

For this I have written a code:-

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateF         


        

Answer 1

This should do it for you, remember to wrap it in a try-catch block just in case.

DateFormat dt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"); 
try
{
Date today = dt.parse("2010-10-22T00:00:00");                       
System.out.println("Your Date = " + dt.format(today));       
} catch (ParseException e)    
{
//This parse operation may not be successful, in which case you should handle the ParseException that gets thrown.
//Black Magic Goes Here
}
