Parse JSON date with GSON

Question

How can I parse JSON dates with GSON? Keeps getting errors.

The date format in the JSON looks like this:

/Date(1313613992133+0200)\

Any advice would be appreciated!

Your date-string seams invalid (because of the `+`). Can you post a full JSON-example and tell where you get it from? — Lukas Knuth, Aug 24 '11 at 11:01

Try using

new Date(Long.parseLong("1313613992133")).toGMTString()

You can use:

    Date date = new Date(Integer.parseInt(jsonDateString.substr(6)));

Yes. That will probably work, but can I do this with the GSON parser? – johan Aug 24 '11 at 10:29
The String-method is called `substring()`, it differs from the JavaScript string. Also, the String can't be parsed since the `Integer.parseInt()`-method does not ignore the `)\` at the end. Also, in the string provided by the OP, there is a `+` which also causes the method to not work. – Lukas Knuth Aug 24 '11 at 10:54
