Question

I have below code snippet

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
      "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS");
 String processedContentDate="2012-04-10 12:53:28.033";   
 java.util.Date parsedDate = dateFormat.parse(processedContentDate);
java.sql.Timestamp timestamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(
 parsedDate.getTime());

I get parsed date as Tue Apr 10 00:53:28 IST 2012 and timestamp as 2012-04-10 00:53:28.033 . i want to get the time exactly as 12:53:28.033(as in my original string)
not 00:53:28.033. Not getting why 12:53:28 is getting converted to 00:53:28. what should I do to get 12:53:28?

EDIT: After getting the response, I tried this small programme where current time is 14:34:38.899
but at both lines i.e at line 1 and line 2, I got below parsed date
2012-04-10 14:34:38.899
As per reply I should have got 02:34:38.899 at line 1 as date format is yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS")

    java.util.Date date= new java.util.Date();
    String strDate=date.toString();
    java.util.Date parsedDate;
    java.util.Date parsedDate2;
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
     "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS");// line 1
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormat2 = new SimpleDateFormat(
     "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");//line 2
     try {
         java.sql.Timestamp timestamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(date.getTime());
          strDate=timestamp.toString();


            parsedDate = dateFormat.parse(strDate);//line1
            parsedDate2 = dateFormat2.parse(strDate);//line2

Answer 1

Define your dateFormat like that

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");

HH instead of hh. See SimpleDateFormat
