I am getting time and date in this format 2012-03-14 12:33:30.000 from server. I want to remove the time part and keep just the date part like this 2012-03-14.
I get all outputs in this format and would like to know how I can remove the time part for all. Any help will be appreciated.
If you want to play with Java time, you could parse the source with the relevant format, then format it back to fit your needs :
String str = "2012-03-14 12:33:30.000";
DateTimeFormatter sourceFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
DateTimeFormatter targetFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, sourceFormatter);
System.out.println(targetFormatter.format(dateTime));
DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE as your second formatter. The format has already been defined for us, so no need to reinvent the wheel here.
java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter#ofPattern requires API level 26 Oreo, which is only 5.7% of devices.One of the ways of achieving this is like this
str = str.substring(10);
Another way is like this
SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = fmt.parse(yourString);//yourString is your String variable
date.toString();//or whatever
str = str.substring(0,10); I want to remove the time part and keep just the date part. Also if you're recommending a date/time class, consider LocalDateTime and not Date.
SimpleDateFormat which is horribly outdated. Use DateTimeFormatter instead.SimpleDateFormat class. At least not as the first option. And not without any reservation. Today we have so much better in java.time, the modern Java date and time API and its DateTimeFormatter.Using the split method, for example:
if you having the date = 2012-03-14 12:33:30.000 you can do
String text[] = date.split(' ') - (with a space in between
'') and get de text[0]
java.util.Date hasn’t got methods getFullYear nor getFullMonth (nor split for that matter). Your answer won’t work.First parse your date string to Java Date object which will contain both date and time, then get the date from that Date object.
str = str.substring(0,10);
