java.text.ParseException: unparsable date: “Mon, 22 Aug 2005 20:21:52 +0200”

Question

I got this error.

What is wrong on my code?

String line = \"Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 20:21:52 +0200\";
String datestring = line.substring(6);
DateFormat da         


        

Answer 1

Is your system locale something else than English? Try to explicitly specify the locale:

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZZZ",
        Locale.US);
