Date Formatting

Date Formatting

We can use below code to format a required field to specific date format.

If date format is 2017-08-07 then we can change it to any format(eg:dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss)

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
  try {
         Date dt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse(assmovedate);
         System.out.println("date captured!!!!"+dt);
         Date dt1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse(assreturningdate);
         System.out.println("date captured!!!!"+dt1);
       
         System.out.println(formatter.format(dt));
         System.out.println(formatter.format(dt1));
         
         String assetmovedate = (String)formatter.format(dt);    // Asset Move date converted to date format
         System.out.println("new date format"     +assetmovedate);
      
         String assetreturningdate = (String)formatter.format(dt1);  // Asset returning date converted to date format
         System.out.println("new date format 1"     +assetreturningdate);

}
catch (ParseException e)
            {
              e.printStackTrace();
            }
