Convert Date to String using simpledateformat

Question

I\'m having issues when converting a date to string in a different format. The date:

lastDownloadDate>>Wed Feb 27 16:20:23 IST 2013
lastChangeDate>&         


        

Answer 1

You have used wrong format for month.

yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss ----> yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
mm--->Minutes. 
MM--->Months

Answer 2

Try

DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

Answer 3

Change

DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss");

to

DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

Answer 4

yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss this is wrong. This should be yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss. Refer this http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html for more details regarding converting date from one format to another.

Answer 5

DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
mm for Minutes
MM for Months
