Question

When I take datatime value from database then I get “java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: 2008-06-29 20:45:00”

My code:

try {
    Cursor cur = db.query("table", new String[] { "_id", "id_m", "date_time"}, "id_m=31", null, null, null, null);
    startManagingCursor(cur);
    cur.moveToFirst();
        Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS").parse(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("date_time")));
        long unixTimestamp = date.getTime() / 1000;
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Can anybody explain me why?

Answer 1

The time in your database uses the 24-hour clock, but you have specified hh for your hours field which limits the value to 1 through 12. Your pattern should be

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
