Im trying to parse a String thats a date “2012-07-15T20:55:33+00:00”, however I keep getting illegal argument exception. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddzHH:mm:SS+00:00"); 
String date = "2012-07-15T20:55:33+00:00";
Log.e("res",sdf.format(date));

Throws

    You need to use sdf.parse(date, new ParsePosition(0)) instead of sdf.format(date).
