Android parse String to Date - unknown pattern character 'X'

Question

I have Service fetch date string from web and then I want to pare it to Date object. But somehow application crashes. This is my string that I\'m parsi

Answer 1

according to android documentation zone offset with X format is supporting in API level 24+

Letter  Date or Time Component      Supported (API Levels)
X       Time zone                   24+

so we can't use for lower APIs, I found a workaround for this issue:

SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ").format(date).let {
    StringBuilder(it).insert(it.length - 2, ":").toString()
}
