Convert Human Date (Local Time GMT) to date

Question

I am working on server and server is sending me date on GMT Local Date like Fri Jun 22 09:29:29 NPT 2018 on String format and I convert it into Date like below:

Answer 1

The Date class is predominantly deprecated, so I would suggest not to use that.

Perhaps consider using something like the ZonedDateTime class for your problem.

If you're just looking for 5 hours before the String sent over to you, you could use something like:

String time = "Fri Jun 22 09:29:29 NPT 2018";
DateTimeFormatter format = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz uuuu");
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse(time, format);
System.out.println(zdt.minusHours(5));
