ParseException: Unparseable date:

I have timestamp string like "2015-07-13T10:44:58Z" whe I try convert this in date object it always generates the exception

Caused by: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2015-07-13T10:44:58Z"

Code which I am using for parsing is like that

    DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
    Date subscriptionDate = format.parse("2015-07-13T10:44:58Z");

I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Solution

  • The patterm SSS stands for Millisecond - which means that your input needs to have 3 decimal places after the second - see here.

    Your input, however, has no millisecond information. You have to remove the SSS or add the digits manually (.000).
