LDAP TIME TO REQUIRED FORMAT

Currently I get 20150211152026.0Z this format from ldap now I would like to store this in my database in this format YYYY-MON-DD HH:mm:ss with java.
Please guide how this could be achieved.

As specified in this question, you can do sthg like this;
String[] parts = inputDateTime.split("[.]");
String dateTimePart = parts[0];
String timeZonePart = "+0" + parts[1].substring(0, parts[1].length() - 1) + "00";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmssZ");
Date theDate = sdf.parse(dateTimePart + timeZonePart);
Thanks to highlycaffeinated
Updated version for your comment;
String inputDateTime = "20150211152026.0Z";
String[] parts = inputDateTime.split("[.]");
String dateTimePart = parts[0];
String timeZonePart = "+0" + parts[1].substring(0, parts[1].length() - 1) + "00";
DateFormat originalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmssZ", Locale.ENGLISH);
DateFormat targetFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = originalFormat.parse(dateTimePart+timeZonePart);
String formattedDate = targetFormat.format(date);
System.out.println(formattedDate);

Error converting Date from one format to another format

Having trouble in the following code. The output is dateStr: 11-Jan-11. Can anyone tell me why the date is modified?
String dateStr="";
String actionCompletionDueDate = "16/11/2011";
DateFormat srcDf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
DateFormat destDf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
if(actionCompletionDueDate != null && !actionCompletionDueDate.equals("")) {
// parse the date string into Date object
System.out.println("actionCompletionDueDate: " + actionCompletionDueDate);
Date actionCompletionDate = srcDf.parse(actionCompletionDueDate);
dateStr = destDf.format(actionCompletionDate);
System.out.println("dateStr: " + dateStr);
}

Change
DateFormat srcDf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
to
DateFormat srcDf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
OR pass a correct string (which respects your format) to your code
String actionCompletionDueDate = "11/16/2011";
and correct the format to DateFormat srcDf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
mm is for minutes and MM is for months

String actionCompletionDueDate = "16/11/2011";
Should be
String actionCompletionDueDate = "11/16/2011";

Change
DateFormat srcDf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
to
DateFormat srcDf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
small mm here corresponds to minute.
But if you print source date using,
System.out.println(actionCompletionDate.toString());
Output is :
Sun Jan 16 00:11:00 IST 2011
See, 11 minute in time.
And change source date too, to 11/16/2011.

How to create specific Date Output as String?

I have this class:
public class Period {
private Date startDate = new Date();
private String startTime = "10:00";
private Date endDate = new Date();
private String endTime = "23:59";
}
Now i need two string outputs "2014-01-08T10:00:00" and "2014-01-08T23:59:00" !
How i can create these two outputs by using the class Period? It is necessary to work with the class Period, which includes startTime and EndTime as Strings!
I only have this small code for using the class SimpleDateFormat:
final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
Thanks for helping me !

What #tobias_k is saying is this. This is your format
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'");
When you call .format to format the Date, it returns a String
String dateString = format.format(period.getStartDate());
Then concatenate it
dateString = dateString + period.getStartTime();

Try this: Using GregorianCalendar
Date startDate = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.set(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR), cal.get(Calendar.MONTH), cal.get(Calendar.DATE), 10, 00, 00);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));
Update1
To get the string value in variable:
String str = dateFormat.format(cal.getTime());
System.out.println(str);

java.text.parseException:unparsable date

i am getting this error while i am trying to convert a string into date.
unparasable data
Below is my code:-
String str = "hello"

Second is missing at your parse String str. So, to parse it you should not include second format at SimpleDateFormat pattern. Also correct the day and Month format. Look at the declaration of df
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm a");//Remove :ss
To know details of pattern, go through this docs.
Edit
String date2 = sdformatter.format(date1);// format method return String.
//Should declare with String
Full Code
String str = "25-Nov-2013 06:00 AM";
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm a");//Remove :ss
SimpleDateFormat sdformatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
Date date1=null;
try {
date1 = df.parse(str);
} catch (ParseException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
String date2 = sdformatter.format(date1);
System.out.println(date2);

According to str format you should write your SimpleDateFormat,
(25-Nov-2013 06:00 AM ---> dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm a) and for
(25-Nov-2013 06:00:30 AM-----> dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a)
will work

Try this
long newerdate = new Date().parse("25-Nov-2013 06:30 AM");
java.text.SimpleDateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm a");
String data = df.format(newerdate);
System.out.println(data);

change date format in java

I have string in 'MM/dd/yyyy' format and want to convert it into 'dd-MM-yy'.
e.g. '04/01/2012' should be converted into '01-Apr-12'
Can anyone please suggest how to get this?

SimpleDateFormat currentFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat newFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yy");
String dateInOldFormat="04/01/2012";
Date temp = currentFormat.parse(dateInOldFormat);
String dateInNewFormat= newFormat.format(temp);
i think things are pretty simple from here on...

You can use the Date class in Java. Parse a string with your format, and then output using a different format.

Below is example of date conversion... For your program, do changes accordingly...
String dateStr = "Thu Jan 19 2012 01:00 PM";
DateFormat readFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "EEE MMM dd yyyy hh:mm aaa");
DateFormat writeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = null;
try {
date = readFormat.parse( dateStr );
} catch ( ParseException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String formattedDate = "";
if( date != null ) {
formattedDate = writeFormat.format( date );
}
System.out.println(formattedDate);
Output is 2012-01-19 13:00:00
Good Luck
