How to format Joda Time to dd-mm-yyyy in android?

 String DOB = new DateTime(Long.parseLong(dob) * 1000, DateTimeZone.UTC ).toString();
 // Current
 // YYYY-MM-DD
 // DOB = "1994-05-10T00:00.000Z"

 // Required 
 // DD-MM-YYYY
 // DOB = "10-05-1994"

I want to remove the hh:mm:ss and format the date using Joda-Time DateTimeFormatter.

Solution

  • try this :

    String textDate ="1994-05-10T00:00.000Z"; //Date to convert

DateTimeFormatter DATE_FORMAT = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"); //Default format

SimpleDateFormat SIMPLE_DATE_FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy", Locale.getDefault()); //Needed format

DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(DATE_FORMAT.parseDateTime(textDate),        DateTimeZone.forID(current.getID()));

Calendar cal=dateTime.toCalendar(Locale.getDefault());

String formatted = SIMPLE_DATE_FORMAT.format(cal.getTime()); //Final Required date
