Question

I am trying to convert Date and time to calendar, while converting i am facing

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "01/11/2012 08:00:00"

Here is my sample code :

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy H:mm:ss", new Locale("es", "ES"));  

cal.setTime(formatter.parse(Form.getRequestPortDate()+" "+.getRequestTimeDD()+":00"));

Note : Value of Form.getRequestPortDate()+" "+Form.getRequestTimeDD()+":00") is 01/11/2012 08:00:00.

Answer 1

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy H:mm:ss", new Locale("es", "ES"));

This means that you will be able to only parse the dates in the format dd-MMM-yyyy H:mm:ss.

If you are getting dates in the format “01/11/2012 08:00:00” then you should use this string inside your SimpleDateFormatter :

"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
