答案当然是创建一个SimpleDateFormat对象，并使用它来解析“字符串到日期”并将“日期到字符串”格式化。如果您已经尝试了SimpleDateFormat，它没有工作，那么请显示您的代码和您可能收到的任何错误。

附录:String格式中的“mm”与“mm”不一样。用MM表示月，用MM表示分钟。另外，yyyyy和yyyy也不一样。例如,:

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class FormateDate {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        String date_s = "2011-01-18 00:00:00.0";

        // *** note that it's "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" not "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss"  
        SimpleDateFormat dt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
        Date date = dt.parse(date_s);

        // *** same for the format String below
        SimpleDateFormat dt1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        System.out.println(dt1.format(date));
    }

}

[编辑以包括BalusC的更正] SimpleDateFormat类应该做到这一点:

String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
try {
  Date date = format.parse("2011-01-18 00:00:00.0");
  System.out.println(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

使用java。Java 8及以上版本的时间包:

String date = "2011-01-18 00:00:00.0";
TemporalAccessor temporal = DateTimeFormatter
    .ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S")
    .parse(date); // use parse(date, LocalDateTime::from) to get LocalDateTime
String output = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd").format(temporal);

你可以用:

Date yourDate = new Date();

SimpleDateFormat DATE_FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String date = DATE_FORMAT.format(yourDate);

它工作得很完美!

从格式中删除一个y:

SimpleDateFormat dt1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyy-mm-dd");

它应该是:

SimpleDateFormat dt1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
