Java String to Date object of the format "yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss"

date, java, simpledateformat, string

Solution

java.util.Date temp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS").parse("2012-07-10 14:58:00.000000");

The `mm` is minutes you want `MM`

CODE

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        java.util.Date temp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS")
                .parse("2012-07-10 14:58:00.000000");
        System.out.println(temp);
    }
}

Prints:

Tue Jul 10 14:58:00 EDT 2012

Problem

I need to convert a String containing date into an date object. The String will be of the format "yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS" and I want the same format in an date object. For instance I have a string "2012-07-10 14:58:00.000000", and I need the resultant date object to be of the same format. I have tried the below methods but, the resultant is not as expected. ``` java.util.Date temp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS").parse("2012-07-10 14:58:00.000000"); DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss"); Date thisDate = dateFormat.parse("2012-07-10 14:58:00.000000"); ``` The result is "Tue Jan 10 14:58:00 EST 2012". Please let me know where I am going wrong. Thanks, Yeshwanth Kota
