Transform String to LocalDate --> Unsupported field: NanoOfDay :

Question

I want to transform a String to a LocalDate in a specific format (yyyy-MM-dd), My string is already in format of ISO_LOCAL_DATE.

Code

 private LocalDate myDate;
 public MyObject(String name, LocalDate myDate) {...}

 DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
 MyObject myObject = new myObject("my object name", LocalDate.parse("2019-03-01", formatter));

Error

java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException: Unsupported field: NanoOfDay

Already tried

object = new Object("object name", (LocalDate) formatter.parse("2019-03-01"));

use SimpleDateFormatter

If the String is formatted like ISO_LOCAL_DATE, you can parse the String directly, no need conversion.

In Java-8

 public static void main(String[] argv) {
            String date = "2019-03-01";
            LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.parse(date);
            System.out.println(localDate);
        }

Output:

2019-03-01
