In various Android projects, I use the following static function to parse dates such as 1900-12-31 . Of course, this function should be deterministic - but it turns out it is not. Why? Normally, it parses the date 2010-10-30 , for example, to the correct Date instance holding that value. But I have noticed that when I have an IntentService running at the same time and parsing some dates, this function parses the same date as above to 1983-01-20 , which is one of the dates parsed in the IntentService . How can this happen? public static Date dateFromString(String dateStr) { SimpleDateFormat

Currently when I try to convert the string back into a date, I get an unparseable date exception. This is caused by the fact the the date was saved using a different Locale This can work for you SimpleDateFormat sdf = new

Whatever... I wrote a function to show date value more human-readable such as "13 hours", "9 minutes". Server sends me the date in server's (USA) time zone. When I calculate time on application with Russia time zone (because it's current time zone on

I am using date converter class to convert my date object. However, I still encounter an error saying. error: Cannot figure out how to save this field into a database. You can consider adding a type converter for it.

I have time in milliseconds , now I want to separate time and date from these milliseconds . how can i do this??? Mohsin Naeem you can use like this Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance(); cl.setTimeInMillis(milliseconds); //here your time in miliseconds String date = "" + cl.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.MONTH) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.YEAR); String time = "" + cl.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" + cl.get(Calendar.SECOND); This function will give you a String date from milliseconds public static String getFormattedDateFromTimestamp(long
