What is the proper date format for this date instance ..

10/10/2011 2:36:00 PM

I’ve used this ..

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss a");

edit

more code

Object temp = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).get("STARTDATE"); // date object from webserive
Date appointment.mStartDate = formatter.parse(temp.toString());

but it returned this date in this format ..

Thu Nov 10 00:36:00 GMT+02:00 2011

Answer 1

Use parseObject

Date appointment.mStartDate = (Date) formatter.parseObject(temp.toString());
