convert string ("2022-12-23T07:20:00" ) time into ZonedDateTime

i was trying to convet string time into ZonedDateTime but not comes up with solution . This is the string format of time "2022-12-23T07:20:00"
i have tried this approach
String stringDate = "2022-12-23T07:20:00";
DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
ZonedDateTime ztdOfDateOfPurchase = ZonedDateTime.parse(stringDate , dateTimeFormatter);
this error is coming=> java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '2022-12-23T07:20:00' could not be parsed at index 19

Simply parse your date-time string using LocalDateTime#parse and add the applicable ZoneId to get the ZonedDateTime.
Note that java.time API is based on ISO 8601 and therefore you do not need a DateTimeFormatter to parse a date-time string which is already in ISO 8601 format (e.g. your date-time string, 2022-12-23T07:20:00).
Demo:
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.parse("2022-12-23T07:20:00");
// Replace ZoneId.systemDefault() with the applicable zone ID e.g.
// ZoneId.of("America/New_York")
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.of(ldt, ZoneId.systemDefault());
System.out.println(zdt);
// Alternatively,
zdt = ldt.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
System.out.println(zdt);
}
}
Output in my timezone:
2022-12-23T07:20Z[Europe/London]
2022-12-23T07:20Z[Europe/London]

Convert UTC datetime to local datetime using java.time

I have a UTC date-time like this (a String): 2022-11-22T17:15:00
And a ZoneID like this: "America/Tijuana"
Using java.time API, I want to get the actual datetime for that zone, which is: 2022-11-22T09:15:00 (the time is 09:15 instead of 17:15)
ZonedDateTime.toLocalDateTime() returns: 2022-11-22T17:15
ZonedDateTime.toString() returns:
2022-11-22T17:15-08:00[America/Tijuana]
None of the above gives me what I'm looking for.
This is my code:
ZoneId zonaID = ZoneId.of('America/Tijuana');
CharSequence dateUTC = "2022-11-22T17:15:00";
LocalDateTime dateTimeL = LocalDateTime.parse(dateUTC);
ZonedDateTime myZDT = ZonedDateTime.now();
ZonedDateTime myZDTFinal = myZDT.of(dateTimeL, zonaID);
System.out.println("using toLocalDateTime: " + myZDTFinal.toLocalDateTime());
System.out.println("using toString: " + myZDTFinal.toString());
I know that this might be a duplicated question but there's so many questions about date-times and I just haven't been able to figure out this.
Any help will be really appreciated.

You have to convert your date to UTC, then convert the convert this zone to your expected zone using withZoneSameInstant like this:
ZonedDateTime toUTCZone = ZonedDateTime.of(dateTimeL, ZoneOffset.UTC);
ZonedDateTime myZDTFinal = toUTCZone.withZoneSameInstant(zonaID);
Output
2022-11-22T09:15-08:00[America/Tijuana]

There can be many ways to achieve the result. A simple approach would be
Parse the given string into LocalDateTime.
Convert it into an OffsetDateTime at UTC using LocalDateTime#atOffset.
Use OffsetDateTime#atZoneSameInstant to convert the resulting OffsetDateTime into a ZonedDateTime at ZoneId.of("America/Tijuana").
Get LocalDateTime out of the resulting ZonedDateTime by using ZonedDateTime#toLocalDateTime.
If required, format this LocalDateTime into the desired string.
LocalDateTime
.parse("2022-11-22T17:15:00") // Parse the given date-time string into LocalDateTime
.atOffset(ZoneOffset.UTC) // Convert it into a ZonedDateTime at UTC
.atZoneSameInstant(ZoneId.of("America/Tijuana")) // Convert the result into a ZonedDateTime at another time-zome
.toLocalDateTime() // Get the LocalDateTime out of the ZonedDateTime
.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", Locale.ENGLISH))); // If required
Demo:
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.util.Locale;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LocalDateTime ldtInTijuana = LocalDateTime.parse("2022-11-22T17:15:00")
.atOffset(ZoneOffset.UTC)
.atZoneSameInstant(ZoneId.of("America/Tijuana"))
.toLocalDateTime();
System.out.println(ldtInTijuana);
// Custom format
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", Locale.ENGLISH);
String formatted = ldtInTijuana.format(formatter);
System.out.println(formatted);
}
}
Output:
2022-11-22T09:15
2022-11-22T09:15:00
Note that LocalDateTime#toString removes second and fraction-of-second values if they are zero. Suppose you want to keep them (as you have posted in your question), you can use a DateTimeFormatter as shown above.
An alternate approach:
Alternatively, you can append Z at the end of your ISO 8601 formatted date-time string to enable Instant to parse it and then convert the Instant into a ZonedDateTime corresponding to the ZoneId.of("America/Tijuana") by using Instant#atZone. The symbol, Z refers to UTC in a date-time string.
The rest of the steps will remain the same.
Demo:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String text = "2022-11-22T17:15:00";
text = text + "Z"; // Z refers to UTC
Instant instant = Instant.parse(text);
LocalDateTime ldt = instant.atZone(ZoneId.of("America/Tijuana")).toLocalDateTime();
System.out.println(ldt);
}
}
Output:
2022-11-22T09:15

Kotlin/java - How to convert a date time string to Instant?

I am trying to create an instance of Instant from date and time strings. Date is formatted like this yyyy-MM-dd. So the values could look like this:
val date = "2021-11-25"
val time = "15:20"
I am trying to make a valid instant from this 2 strings like this:
val dateTime = "${date}T${time}:00"
val instantDateTime = ZonedDateTime.parse(dateTime,
DateTimeFormatter.ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME.withZone(defaultTimeZone)
).toInstant()
I have also tried with it:
val instantDateTime = Instant.from(DateTimeFormatter .ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME.withZone(defaultTimeZone).parse(dateTime))
But, that is not working, I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '2021-11-25T15:20:00' could not be parsed at index 19

You can combine the date and time strings to create a date-time string in ISO 8601 format which you can parse into LocalDateTime and then convert into Instant by using the applicable ZoneId. Note that the modern Date-Time API is based on ISO 8601 and does not require using a DateTimeFormatter object explicitly as long as the Date-Time string conforms to the ISO 8601 standards.
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String strDate = "2021-11-25";
String strTime = "15:20";
String strDateTime = strDate + "T" + strTime;
LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.parse(strDateTime);
Instant instant = ldt.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant();
System.out.println(instant);
}
}
Output:
2021-11-25T15:20:00Z

Some alternative approaches:
Create the instance of LocalDateTime can be as suggested by daniu i.e. parse the date and time strings individually and create the instance of LocalDateTime using them.
Demo:
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.LocalTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String strDate = "2021-11-25";
String strTime = "15:20";
LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.of(LocalDate.parse(strDate), LocalTime.parse(strTime));
Instant instant = ldt.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant();
System.out.println(instant);
}
}
ONLINE DEMO
Create the instance of ZonedDateTime using ZonedDateTime#of(LocalDate, LocalTime, ZoneId) as suggested by Ole V.V.. Another variant that you can try with this approach is by using ZonedDateTime#of(LocalDateTime, ZoneId).
Demo:
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String strDate = "2021-11-25";
String strTime = "15:20";
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.of(LocalDate.parse(strDate), LocalTime.parse(strTime),
ZoneId.systemDefault());
// Alternatively
// ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.of(LocalDateTime.of(LocalDate.parse(strDate), LocalTime.parse(strTime)),
// ZoneId.systemDefault());
Instant instant = zdt.toInstant();
System.out.println(instant);
}
}
ONLINE DEMO
Combine the date and time strings to create a date-time string in ISO 8601 format and parse the same to ZonedDateTime using DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME.withZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).
Demo:
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String strDate = "2021-11-25";
String strTime = "15:20";
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME.withZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse(strDate + "T" + strTime, dtf);
Instant instant = zdt.toInstant();
System.out.println(instant);
}
}
ONLINE DEMO
Create an instance of LocalDateTime by parsing the date and time strings, and use the LocalDateTime#toInstant to get the required Instant.
Demo:
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.LocalTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {

String strTime = "15:20";
LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.of(LocalDate.parse(strDate), LocalTime.parse(strTime));
Instant instant = ldt.toInstant(ZoneId.systemDefault().getRules().getOffset(ldt));
System.out.println(instant);
}

* If you are working for an Android project and your Android API level is still not compliant with Java-8, check Java 8+ APIs available through desugaring. Note that Android 8.0 Oreo already provides support for java.time.

Your date string doesn't include a timezone, so it cannot be parsed directly to a ZonedDateTime (see javadoc for ZonedDateTime#parse).
Try parsing the string to a LocalDateTime instead (using LocalDate#parse).
You can then convert the the LocalDateTimeto an Instant using LocalDateTime#toInstant or to a ZonedDateTime using LocalDateTime#atZone

mockServer andExpect(content().XML with current date concatenated

I am getting an Assertion error " Body Content Expected child but was null when asserting the andExpect XML. If I input as as a String "2020-10-01-5:00" it works fine but if I concatenate the date into a string like:
LocalDate startDate = LocalDate.now().minusDays(90);
String startDateLine = "<start-date>" + startDate + "-5:00</start-date>\n";
It throws the AssertionError. I have verified that the XML is correct before the call so I am unsure what about getting the date and converting to a string causes the test to fail.

Update
Do not add the offset string to the LocalDate string in order to convert it into an OffsetDateTime string. Shown below is the idiomatic way to convert a LocalDate to OffsetDateTime
LocalDate.of(2020, 10, 1)
.atStartOfDay()
.atOffset(ZoneOffset.of("-05:00"));
Demo:
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2020, 10, 1);
LocalDateTime ldt = date.atStartOfDay();
OffsetDateTime odt = ldt.atOffset(ZoneOffset.of("-05:00"));
System.out.println(odt);
}
}
Output:
2020-10-01T00:00-05:00

You can get the String representation of an OffsetDateTime using the function OffsetDateTime#toString e.g.
String strOdt = odt.toString();
Original answer
Change your input to have the timezone offset in the format HH:mm e.g. -05:00 so that it conforms to ISO 8601 standards.
Use DateTimeFormatterBuilder with .parseDefaulting(ChronoField.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0) to default the hour-of-day to 0.
Parse the given string to OffsetDateTime as it has timezone offset and OffsetDateTime is the best fit to represent Date-Time with timezone offset.
Demo:
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
import java.util.Locale;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DateTimeFormatter dtf =new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
.appendPattern("u-M-d[H:m:s]XXX")
.parseDefaulting(ChronoField.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0)
.toFormatter(Locale.ENGLISH);
OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse("2020-10-01-05:00", dtf);
System.out.println(odt);
}
}
Output:
2020-10-01T00:00-05:00

Local DateTime cannot be parsed in Java 11

I have below code.
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");
LocalDateTime myDate = LocalDateTime.parse("2020-11-16T02:27:39.345Z", formatter);
But it throws below error in the second line. Not sure why it's complaining Z
java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '2020-11-16T02:27:39.345Z' could not be parsed at index 23
at java.base/java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.parseResolved0(DateTimeFormatter.java:2046)
at java.base/java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.parse(DateTimeFormatter.java:1948)
at java.base/java.time.LocalDateTime.parse(LocalDateTime.java:492)

LocalDateTime does not have timezone or zone-offset information whereas your date-time string has zone-offset. The letter, Z at the end of your date-time string stands for Zulu i.e. zone-offset of UTC. You can parse it into OffsetDateTime or ZonedDateTime or Instant directly (i.e. without using a custom DateTimeFormatter).
Demo:
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String dateTimeString = "2020-11-16T02:27:39.345Z";
OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse(dateTimeString);
System.out.println(odt);
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse(dateTimeString);
System.out.println(zdt);
Instant instant = Instant.parse(dateTimeString);
System.out.println(instant);
}
}
Output:
2020-11-16T02:27:39.345Z
2020-11-16T02:27:39.345Z
