Question

I’ve got the next java code:

    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("kk:mm");
    Date rangoInicio = formatter.parse(filtroHorariosIda.get(0));  

The value for filtroHorariosIda.get(0) is “7” (quotes includes because it’s a string)

The problem is java throws the exception

java.text.ParseException Unparseable date: "7"

I’ve been reading the java docs and I think it’s a perfectly parsing operation. Where’s the problem?

Thanks.

Answer 1

That’s because you’re trying to parse “7” and saying that it should use “kk:mm” format.

Try this instead

Date rangoInicio = formatter.parse(filtroHorariosIda.get(0) + ":00");
