Java string to date conversion

Question

I was trying to convert a string into a date format, so for that I have break the details element like day, month and year into integer. Is there any other way to do this?

Answer 1

The method which you are using is the hard way, instead of that, you can use SimpleDateFormat. Below is the code, you can take it as a reference:

String intellipaat = "January 2, 2010";

DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM d, yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);

Date date = format.parse(intellipaat);

System.out.println(date); // Sat Jan 02 00:00:00 GMT 2010

I hope this will help.
