Formatting date in custom formats using SimpleDateFormat
This example shows how to format date and time in custom formats using Java
SimpleDateFormat class.
*/
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class FormattingDateInCustomFormat {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//create Date object
Date date = new Date();
//create object of SimpleDateFormat class with custom format
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
String strDate = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println("formatted date in mm/dd/yy : " + strDate);
//format date in dd/mm/yyyy format
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
strDate = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println("formatted date in dd/MM/yyyy : " + strDate);
//format date in mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss format
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss");
strDate = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println("formatted date in mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss : " + strDate);
}
}
/*
Typical output would be
formatted date in mm/dd/yy : 12/27/07
formatted date in dd/MM/yyyy : 27/12/2007
formatted date in mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss : 12-27-2007 06:44:26
