I am trying to convert a string in OffsetDateTime but getting below error.
java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '20150101' could not be parsed: Unable to obtain OffsetDateTime from TemporalAccessor: {},ISO resolved to 2015-01-01 of type java.time.format.Parsed
Code : OffsetDateTime.parse("20150101", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyyMMdd"));
Expected output: OffsetDateTime object with date 20150101.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Thanks everyone for your reply. Earlier I was using joda datetime (look at below method) to handle date and datetime both but I wanted to use Java8 libraries instead of the external libraries.
static public DateTime convertStringInDateFormat(String date, String dateFormat){
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern(dateFormat);
return formatter.parseDateTime(date);
}
I was expecting same with OffsetDateTime but got to know we can use ZonedDateTime or OffsetDateTime if we want to work with a date/time in a certain time zone. As I am working on Period and Duration for which LocalDate can help.
String to DateTime:
LocalDate date =
LocalDate.parse("20150101", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyyMMdd"));
LocalDate to desired string format:
String dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'";
date.atStartOfDay().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(dateFormat));
