How to convert Russian date format to US date format?

i want to change Russian Date to US format

String rDate = "28 августа 2017";

output : 

String usDate = "28-08-2017";
Solution

  • You can use DateTimeFormatter with withLocale.

    Parsing text.

    DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter = 
    DateTimeFormatter
    .ofPattern("dd MMMM uuuu")
    .withLocale( new Locale("ru") )
;
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse(rDate, dateTimeFormatter);

    Generating text.

    String usDate = ld.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-uuuu"));
=> 28-08-2017
