convert String to Date in android

Question

anyone know how to convert the following string to Date?

"Fri Jul 30 16:19:36 GMT+02.00 2021"

i tried:

 SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy");
try {String temp = value2[i].trim();
     expiry = formatter.parse(temp);

    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }

but,it doesn't work.

Answer 1

z expects the format GMT+02:00 not GMT+02.00 replace the . and it should work.

Worked for me with the following code:

    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy");
    try {
        String temp = "Fri Jul 30 16:19:36 GMT+02:00 2021";
        Date expiry = formatter.parse(temp);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
