    string time = "2015-06-16t14:58:48z";      simpledateformat formatter = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd't'hh:mm:ss'z'", locale.us);      string dateinstring = "2015-06-16t14:58:48z";      date date = formatter.parse(dateinstring);     system.out.println("original string : " + time);     system.out.println("after converting time : " + formatter.format(date));

the converted date somehow getting wrong value.please suggest mistake.thanks.

you format string has couple of mistakes:

• y means week year, not year, y
• d means day of year. should have used d, means day of month.
• h means 12-hour notation time of day. since have 14 should use h, handle 24-hour notation.

to sum up:

simpledateformat formatter =      new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd't'hh:mm:ssx", locale.us);
