What is the most elegant way to get ISO 8601 formatted presentation of the current moment, UTC? It should look like: 2010-10-12T08:50Z.
Example:
String iso8601 = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.ISO_8601).format(date);
Try SimpleDateFormat to format any Date object you require:
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC");DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z'"); // Quoted "Z" to indicate UTC, no timezone offsetdf.setTimeZone(tz);String nowAsISO = df.format(new Date());
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC");
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z'"); // Quoted "Z" to indicate UTC, no timezone offset
df.setTimeZone(tz);
String nowAsISO = df.format(new Date());
Applying a new Date() as revealed above will format the current time.
Use SimpleDateFormat to format any Date object you want: TimeZone tz = TimeZone. getTimeZone("UTC"); DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z'"); // Quoted "Z" to indicate UTC, no timezone offset df.
