JodaTime IllegalArgumentException Invalid format "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"

Stephanie Joyce :

Before to post, i search this format in previous questions but i dont found it

Here is the simple code that i want to try :

String YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss";
DateTimeFormatter yyyyMMddHHmmssFormatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern(YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS); 
DateTime fromDate = DateTime.parse("2019-01-17 11:01:15", yyyyMMddHHmmssFormatter);

I got this error :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "2019-01-17 11:01:15" is malformed at "-01-17 11:01:15"

I think, i must change something in the string format ?

Thank's for your help

You shoud use format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss for input 2019-01-17 11:01:15, yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss works when the input like 2019/01/17 11:01:15.

Update

You need two format to convet:

DateTimeFormatter inputFormat = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); 
DateTimeFormatter outputFormat = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"); 
DateTime fromDate = DateTime.parse("2019-01-17 11:01:15", inputFormat);
System.out.println(outputFormat.print(fromDate));
