Date parsing yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss in Android

My string date --> 2016-10-02T00:00:00.000Z. I want to get only date from this string. I tried to parse through below coding but it throws me error! I have exactly the same format as mentioned in the string. Any answers?
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.SSSZ");
try {
Date myDate = sdf.parse( dateofJoining.replaceAll( "([0-9\\-T]+:[0-9]{2}:[0-9.+]+):([0-9]{2})", "$1$2" ) );
System.out.println("Date only"+ myDate );
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I also tired below code,
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
try {
Date date = format.parse(dtStart);
System.out.println(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
The error which i get
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2016-10-02T00:00:00.000Z" (at offset 19)
05-12 00:18:36.613 4330-4330/com.vroom.riderb2b W/System.err: at java.text.DateFormat.parse

change the simple date format to use: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ
in your code:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");
try {
Date date = format.parse(dtStart.replaceAll("Z$", "+0000"));
System.out.println(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
If you want to get date/mm/yy from it:
use:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy");
// use UTC as timezone
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Log.i("DATE", sdf.format(date)); //previous date object parsed
if you want output format: hour:minute AM/PM
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a", Locale.ENGLISH);
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
System.out.println(sdf.format(date));
EDIT
More easier option is to split the string in two parts like:
String dateString = "2016-10-02T00:00:00.000Z";
String[] separated = dateString.split("T");
separated[0]; // this will contain "2016-10-02"
separated[1]; // this will contain "00:00:00.000Z"

try with this :
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");

Try
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone localTZ = calendar.getTimeZone();
String format1 = "yyyy-MM-dd"; //will return 2017-01-31
String format2 = "dd"; //will return DAY only like 31
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
sdf.setTimeZone(localTZ );
String result = sdf.format(your_date);

For me it's worked like this:
textView_last_comm.setText(parseDateFormat(passDetailsModel.getLast_comm(), "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'", "dd/MM/yy HH:mm"));
public static String parseDateFormat(String dateToFormat, String inputFormat, String outputFormat) {
SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(inputFormat);
SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(outputFormat);
Date date = null;
String str = null;
try {
date = inputFormat.parse(dateToFormat);
str = outputFormat.format(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return str;
}

You can get date easily by using String.substring() method:
String string = "2016-10-02T00:00:00.000Z";
String date = string.substring(0, 10);
Log.d("SUCCESS", "DATE: " + date);
OUTPUT:
D/SUCCESS: DATE: 2016-10-02

How can I Convert timestamp String to Date in Android [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How do I convert the date from one format to another date object in another format without using any deprecated classes?

Closed 6 years ago.
I want to convert timestamp to date in android, I tried this code but not get expected result.
My Code Is.
String timeStampST = "2016-12-13 09:47:11";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date convertedDate = new Date();
try {
convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(timeStampST);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(convertedDate);
Out Put
Tue Dec 13 16:15:02 GMT+05:30 2016
Expected Out Put
Tue Dec 13 2016
I need day in my output

Kindly copy paste this answer. It will help you.
String timeStampST = "2016-12-13 09:47:11";
SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = null;
String resultDate = null;
try {
date = fmt.parse(timeStampST);
SimpleDateFormat fmtOut = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy");
resultDate = fmtOut.format(date);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
OUTPUT
resultDate = 12/13/2016

Use this method with string and input and output format.
public static String parseDateToddMMyyyy(String time, String inputPattern, String outputPattern) {
SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(inputPattern);
SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(outputPattern);
Date date;
String str = null;
try {
date = inputFormat.parse(time);
str = outputFormat.format(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return str;
}

Java: Converting String to Date

I am trying to get the current date in a Talend job and I am using this as my context variable:
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = new Date();
context.dateout = dateFormat.format(date);
System.out.println(context.dateout);
However, the type of the result is a String and not a Date.
How should I correct it?
Thank you very much!!

Try to do that according the following code:
String string = "2016-03-15";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd", Locale.ENGLISH);
try {
Date date = dateFormat.parse(string);
System.out.println(date);
} catch (ParseException ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
I don't know what your context.dateout means.

Note the difference between parse and format.
This is to create a string from a date:
dateFormat.format(date);
This is to create a date from a string:
dateFormat.parse(dateString);

Java: Issue in SimpleDateFormat class

I am trying to convert a date string of format dd.MM.YYYY into date object as following:
String start_dt = "01.01.2011";
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.YYYY");
Date date = (Date)formatter.parse(start_dt);
System.out.print("Date is : "+date);
But I am getting this result Date is : Sun Dec 26 00:00:00 MST 2010
I tried it in different ides and even on compileonline.com , still same result.
So Am I doing anything wrong here, because its not suppose to behave like this.
Please help.

The pattern for year is incorrect. You need to say:
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");

The correct representation is yyyy
String start_dt = "01.01.2011";
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date date = null;
try {
date = (Date)formatter.parse(start_dt);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.print("Date is : "+date);

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String start_dt = "01.01.2011";
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date date = (Date)formatter.parse(start_dt);
System.out.print("Date is : "+date);
} catch (ParseException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(NewClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}

you should learn about DateFormat from here link1 and link2, you will realize that your code should be like that (year should be written in small letters).
String start_dt = "01.01.2011";
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date date = (Date)formatter.parse(start_dt);
System.out.print("Date is : "+date);

I have a date in(string) in dd-mon-yyyy format and I want to compare this date with system date

I have a date in(string) in dd-mon-yyyy format and I want to compare this date with system date.
eg.
I have 12-OCT-2010
and I want to compere this with system date in same format

You can use the SystemDateFormat class to parse your String, for example
final DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
final Date input = fmt.parse("12-OCT-2010");
if (input.before(new Date()) {
// do something
}
Note that SimpleDateFormat is not threadsafe, so needs to be wrapped in a ThreadLocal if you have more than one thread accessing your code.
You may also be interested in Joda, which provides a better date API

Use SimpleDateFormat http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String d = "12-OCT-2010";
try {
Date formatted = f.parse(d);
Date sysDate = new Date();
System.out.println(formatted);
System.out.println(sysDate);
if(formatted.before(sysDate)){
System.out.println("Formatted Date is older");
}
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

I would recommend using Joda Time. You can parse that String into a LocalDate object very simply, and then construct another LocalDate from the system clock. You can then compare these dates.

Using simpledateformat -
String df = "dd-MMM-yyyy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(df);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
/* system date */
String systemdate = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
/* the date you want to compare in string format */
String yourdate = "12-Oct-2010";
Date ydate = null;
try {
ydate = sdf.parse(yourdate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
yourdate = sdf.format(ydate);
System.out.println(systemdate.equals(yourdate) ? "true" : "false");
