How to create android time in JSON Format

Question

I want to get the current time and convert it to JSON Format as shown below:

'2015-11-02T17:22:04.184+00:00'

The Date and DateFormat doesn't appear to have a method to do this.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

EDIT: This is not a duplicate question

The answer suggested does not get me the time and date in this format:

'2015-11-02T17:22:04.184+00:00'

What do you mean "JSON Format"?

JSON is just a string:value object (this is why people "-1" you). You can read about it here.

A JSON format would be { "date":"2015-11-02T17:22:04.184+00:00"}

To convert the date string to Java Date object you can use SimpleDateFormat. You can see some examples here
