Question
Can someone show me a piece of java code that parses this date:
2009-08-05
INTO THIS GMT DATE:
2009/217:00:00
====
what i have so far is:
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
java.util.Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone(0, "GMT"));
format.setCalendar(cal);
java.util.Date date = format.parse(sdate);
but its not working
Solution
Here is the format you're looking for:
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("2009-08-05");
String parsedDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/D:HH:mm").format(date);
OTHER TIPS
format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
That's how to set it to GMT at least. Not sure where you are getting 2009/217 from 2009-08-05
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatGmt = new SimpleDateFormat("dd:MM:yyyy HH:mm:ss");
dateFormatGmt.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
System.out.println(dateFormatGmt.format(new Date())+"");
This will convert your local time to GMT.
