in java, how to convert String to Date object "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm"

Question

i want to convert String "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm" (for ex,2015-04-13T10:00:00) into date object with the same format(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm). Please let me know how to do this.

Date objects don't *have* a format. You can parse using a particular format, but then when you want to convert the `Date` back into a `String`, you need to format with the same format. — Jon Skeet, Sep 03 '15 at 12:07

String dateString = "2015-04-13T10:00:00";
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm"); 
Date date = simpleDateFormat.parse(dateString);

Now if you want to display the date in the same format, you can do the following

System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(date)); // Outputs "2015-04-13T10:00"

Its giving the output as "Mon Apr 13 10:00:00 IST 2015" – santro Sep 03 '15 at 12:08
You probably did the following `System.out.println(date.toString());` , @Jon Skeet comment explains why it is outputting in that format. – Kevin Sep 03 '15 at 12:10
