How to convert String date to java.util.Date?

Question

I have a date as a String format like this -

String testDate = "2014-11-5T19:11:27";

Now I need to convert above String date to java.util.Date format. I was trying below code but it is not able to recognize T in it.

String testDate = "2014-11-5T19:11:27";
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss");
Date date = formatter.parse(testDate);
System.out.println(date);

Answer 1

T必须用引号引起来，因为它不用于匹配DateFormat模式中的日期元素

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
