Question

I was trying to format a string into date.

For this I have written a code:-

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(sdf.format( cal.getTime() ));

This is fine..
But now I want to convert a string into a date formatted like above..
For example

String dt="2010-10-22";

And the output should be like this:-
2010-10-22T00:00:00

How do I do this?

Answer 1

String dt = "2010-10-22";

SimpleDateFormat sdfIn = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
ParsePosition ps = new ParsePosition(0)
Date date = sdfIn.parse(dt, pos)

SimpleDateFormat sdfOut = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");

System.out.println(sdfOut.format( date ));
