I trying to parse a data in a MySql
Format, I ran across SimpleDateFormat
. I can get the proper day and month, but I got a strange result for the year :
date = 2009-06-22;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date d = sdf.parse(date);
System.println(date);
System.println(d.getDate());
System.println(d.getMonth());
System.println(d.getYear());
Outputs :
2009-06-22
22 OK
5 Hum... Ok, months go from 0 to 11
109 o_O WTF ?
I tried changing the format to YYYY-MM-dd
(got an error) and yy-MM-dd
(did nothing). I am programming on Android, don't know if it's important.
For now, I bypass that using a split, but it's dirty and prevent me from using i18n features.
The year is relative to 1900. That's a "feature" of the Date
class. Try to use Calender
.
