GSON JsonSyntaxException deserializing Java Date Object

Question

I am getting a JSON String and want to convert it to a typed Object.

however i get the following deserializtion error:

04-02 16:20:45.632: E/AndroidRuntime(30912): 
com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: 2014-03-25T19:10:07.1466Z

when trying to assign to this:

private Date endDateTime;

what would you suggest?

Try setting your date format to your Gson instance before deserialize, Gson gson= new GsonBuilder().setDateFormat(dateFormat).create(); — vzamanillo, Apr 02 '14 at 13:41

I might be a bit wrong with the date format, but take this as a guidance:

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss.zzz").create();

And then use this instance to parse your input.

The idea is that your instance of `Gson` class created in the way described in my answer will handle dates as you have specified in `setDateFormat` method call. You use it in the same way you do it currently, no difference whatsoever. – Haspemulator Apr 03 '14 at 07:56
