Answer 1

Use the format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'" for parsing this date format. See the documentation of SimpleDateFormat for more info. Code will look like this

String dateStr = "2011-09-19T15:57:11Z";
String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'";
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern).parse(dateStr);
