Question

Can someone show me a piece of java code that parses this date:

2009-08-05

INTO THIS GMT DATE:

2009/217:00:00

====

what i have so far is:

       java.text.SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");

       java.util.Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone(0, "GMT"));
       format.setCalendar(cal);
       java.util.Date date = format.parse(sdate);

but its not working

Answer 1

Here is the format you’re looking for:

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("2009-08-05");
String parsedDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/D:HH:mm").format(date);
