Android上的SimpleDateFormat行为异常

Question

I'm trying to parse this value 2013-10-22T16:21:22Z using the following pattern yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ and it throws this exception :

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2013-10-22T16:21:22Z" (at offset 19)

Does anyone have an idea why?

Answer 1

I don't think it can parse the Z. Have you tried something like this?

String formattedTime = myTime.replace("Z", "+00:00");

And then tried parsing that?

Answer 2

In a nutshell, throw away the legacy java way to handle date and times. Instead, take a look at the Joda API site . In their site you'll find a few code examples about the most common usages related to date and time manipulation, and probably some dealing with your question.

Answer 3

simply, 'Z' is reserved keyword for datetime parsing. you can escape it like this:

yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'
