java年月加1月,在java中解析字符串到日期格式默认为1和月到1月

I am trying to accept a user input of date in the format like : "2000 hrs, Thursday, July 20, 2015". I will then convert this to a date format to do operations on it. But the convertion from string to date is defaulting month to January and date to 1. Here is the code snippet :

String userDateFormat = "HHmm 'hrs', EEEE, MMMM dd, YYYY";

SimpleDateFormat userDateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(userDateFormat);

String reference_date = "2000 hrs, Thursday, July 20, 2015";

Date date = null;

try {

date = userDateFormatter.parse(reference_date);

} catch (ParseException e) {

System.out.println("Date must be in the format " + userDateFormat);

}

System.out.println(userDateFormatter.format(date));

The following method block prints :

2000 hrs, Thursday, January 01, 2015.

Any clue why?

解决方案

Because you used YYYY when you needed yyyy and July 20, 2015 was a Monday. You wanted something like

String userDateFormat = "HHmm 'hrs', EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy";

SimpleDateFormat userDateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(

userDateFormat);

String reference_date = "2000 hrs, Monday, July 20, 2015";

which then outputs

2000 hrs, Monday, July 20, 2015

Then SimpleDateFormat Javadoc says (in part)
