I've got a Calendar
Date in Java.
I need to convert it in a String
with this format :
2020-12-29T00:00:00+01:00
How can I do it?
Thank you so much for your help.
Get the Date
object by calling Calendar#getTime
and format it using a SimpleDateFormat
with the format, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX
.
Note: Since the desired string has timezone offset of +01:00
hours, make sure you set the timezone of the SimpleDateFormat
object to TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+1")
before calling SimpleDateFormat#format
.
Demo:
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+1"));
Date date = calendar.getTime();
String formatted = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println(formatted);
}
}
Another example:
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
String dateTimeString = "2020-12-29T00:00:00+01:00";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX");
Date obj = sdf.parse(dateTimeString);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(obj);
// Formatting this calendar object
Date date = calendar.getTime();
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+1"));
String formatted = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println(formatted);
}
}
Output:
2020-12-29T00:00:00+01:00
