date format problem

[rajareddy annavaarm]

I want to display dateformat like below
Mon 23 Apr 16:45 pm

I am using the following code'

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("EEE MMM d hh:mm aaa");
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date ();
String dateStr = dateFormat.format (date);
try{
java.util.Date date2 = dateFormat.parse (dateStr);
}catch(ParseException pe){
pe.printStackTrace();}
I am getting output like Sat May 16 11:37:00 GMT+05:30 1970.

But I need output like Mon 23 Apr 16:45 pm.


How can I do that

[Christophe Verré]

Are you printing dateStr or date2 ?
Try this :

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("EEE d MM hh:mm aaa", Locale.US);
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date ();
String dateStr = dateFormat.format (date);
System.out.println("Date: " + dateStr );
