Same milliseconds for two different times in java
java, simpledateformat
Solution
You are using the 12-hour `hh` format; use the 24-hour `HH` (capitalized) format.
DateFormat formate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
- `SimpleDateFormat` date symbols
H Hour in day (0-23) Number 0
h Hour in am/pm (1-12) Number 12
Problem
I need to convert a 24 hour date format for a given string into milliseconds. But I get the same milliseconds for 00:10:00 and 12:10:00. This is my code sample; please assist me. ``` DateFormat formate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"); formate.parse("2013-10-31 12:10:00").getTime(); // return 1383158400000 formate.parse("2013-10-31 00:10:00").getTime(); // return 1383158400000 ``` I am using 24 hours format, but I get the same result for 2 different times. Where is the mistake? Please help me to find out the problem.
