字符串到日期的转换:

private Date StringtoDate(String date) throws Exception {
            SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            java.sql.Date sqlDate = null;
            if( !date.isEmpty()) {

                try {
                    java.util.Date normalDate = sdf1.parse(date);
                    sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(normalDate.getTime());
                } catch (ParseException e) {
                    throw new Exception("Not able to Parse the date", e);
                }
            }
            return sqlDate;
        }

此外，SimpleDateFormat对于某些客户端技术(如GWT)是不可用的。

使用Calendar.getInstance()是个好主意，您的要求是比较两个日期;长时间约会。

在Java 8中，我们获得了一个新的日期/时间API (JSR 310)。

下面的方法可以用来解析Java 8中的日期而不依赖于Joda-Time:

 String str = "January 2nd, 2010";

// if we 2nd even we have changed in pattern also it is not working please workout with 2nd 
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM Q, yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse(str, formatter);

// access date fields
int year = date.getYear(); // 2010
int day = date.getDayOfMonth(); // 2
Month month = date.getMonth(); // JANUARY
int monthAsInt = month.getValue(); // 1

LocalDate是表示日期(没有时间)的标准Java 8类。如果要解析包含日期和时间信息的值，则应该使用LocalDateTime。对于带时区的值，请使用ZonedDateTime。两者都提供了类似于LocalDate的parse()方法:

LocalDateTime dateWithTime = LocalDateTime.parse(strWithDateAndTime, dateTimeFormatter);
ZonedDateTime zoned = ZonedDateTime.parse(strWithTimeZone, zoneFormatter);

DateTimeFormatter Javadoc中的格式化字符列表:

All letters 'A' to 'Z' and 'a' to 'z' are reserved as pattern letters. 
The following pattern letters are defined:

您可以使用SimpleDateformat更改日期字符串

sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); String strDate = "2000-01-01"; Date Date = sdf.parse(strDate);

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date;
try {
    date = dateFormat.parse("2013-12-4");
    System.out.println(date.toString()); // Wed Dec 04 00:00:00 CST 2013

    String output = dateFormat.format(date);
    System.out.println(output); // 2013-12-04
} 
catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

这对我来说很有效。

我们使用了两个简单的格式化程序:

我们想要哪种格式的日期? 实际显示的是哪种格式日期?

我们解析完整的日期到时间格式:

date="2016-05-06 16:40:32";

public static String setDateParsing(String date) throws ParseException {

    // This is the format date we want
    DateFormat mSDF = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");

    // This format date is actually present
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm");
    return mSDF.format(formatter.parse(date));
}
