Month issue in SimpleDateFormat class
String expiryDate = "2016-03-14";
private String formatDateTime(String expiryDate, String expiryTime) {
SimpleDateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
SimpleDateFormat output = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM, dd, yyyy");
try {
String formattedDate = output.format(input.parse(expiryDate ));// parse input
return formattedDate + ", " + expiryTime;
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
However when it returns it gives Jan, 14, 2016.
The desired output was Mar,14,2016
mm
should be capital MM
. Beacuse
mm represent minute MM represent Month
So your format should be like
SimpleDateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
mm represents minutes, so when you use mm, it will print minutes instead of month.
While MM represents months. You need to add like this:
SimpleDateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
SimpleDateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
should be
SimpleDateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
mm should be MM
