java.text.ParseException：无法解析的日期“ yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH：mm：ss.SSSZ”-SimpleDateFormat

Question

I am suffering error from this code

 java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "1998-09-17T00:00:00.000+08:00" (at offset 23)

I not sure what wrong with the code

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");
          Date date = null;
          try
          {
              date = sdf.parse(startdate);
          }
          catch(Exception ex)
          {
              ex.printStackTrace();
          }
          SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS");
          String dateStr = formatter.format(date);

  System.out.println(dateStr);

What should I do?

Answer 1

The timezone format is not correct.

The Timezone should be +0800 not +08:00 .

According to the samples in the Javadocs for SimpleDateFormat , you should be fine with

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX"  -> 2001-07-04T12:08:56.235-07:00

XXX is the ISO Format, that will allow the colon in the timezone.
