Gson java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date

Question

I'm getting an exception using Gson to deserialize json.

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2011-10-19T23:30:00-04:00"

The 23:30:00 part does seem strange to me. Is this an invalid date?

Answer 1

You have to define the date Format in the GsonBuilder, something like this.

Gson gSon=  new GsonBuilder().setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").create();

Regards!
