You can supply a Unicode UTS #35 * pattern describing what strings are produced/accepted, but almost all * callers should use {@link DateFormat#getDateInstance}, {@link DateFormat#getDateTimeInstance}, * or {@link DateFormat#getTimeInstance} to get a ready-made instance suitable for the user's * locale. In cases where the system does not provide a suitable pattern, see * {@link android.text.format.DateFormat#getBestDateTimePattern} which lets you specify * the elements you'd like in a pattern and get back a pattern suitable for any given locale. * *
The main reason you'd create an instance this class directly is because you need to * format/parse a specific machine-readable format, in which case you almost certainly want * to explicitly ask for {@link Locale#US} to ensure that you get ASCII digits (rather than, * say, Arabic digits). * (See "Be wary of the default locale".) * The most useful non-localized pattern is {@code "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"}, which corresponds * to the ISO 8601 international standard date format. * *
To specify the time format, use a time pattern string. In this * string, any character from {@code 'A'} to {@code 'Z'} or {@code 'a'} to {@code 'z'} is * treated specially. All other characters are passed through verbatim. The interpretation of each * of the ASCII letters is given in the table below. ASCII letters not appearing in the table are * reserved for future use, and it is an error to attempt to use them. * *
The number of consecutive copies (the "count") of a pattern character further influences * the format, as shown in the table. For fields of kind "number", the count is the minimum number * of digits; shorter values are zero-padded to the given width and longer values overflow it. * *

Fractional seconds are handled specially: they're zero-padded on the right. * *
The two pattern characters {@code L} and {@code c} are ICU-compatible extensions, not * available in the RI or in Android before Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" (API level 9). These * extensions are necessary for correct localization in languages such as Russian * that make a grammatical distinction between, say, the word "June" in the sentence "June" and * in the sentence "June 10th"; the former is the stand-alone form, the latter the regular * form (because the usual case is to format a complete date). The relationship between {@code E} * and {@code c} is equivalent, but for weekday names. * *
Five-count patterns (such as "MMMMM") used for the shortest non-numeric * representation of a field were introduced in Jelly Bean MR2 (API level 18). * *
When two numeric fields are directly adjacent with no intervening delimiter * characters, they constitute a run of adjacent numeric fields. Such runs are * parsed specially. For example, the format "HHmmss" parses the input text * "123456" to 12:34:56, parses the input text "12345" to 1:23:45, and fails to * parse "1234". In other words, the leftmost field of the run is flexible, * while the others keep a fixed width. If the parse fails anywhere in the run, * then the leftmost field is shortened by one character, and the entire run is * parsed again. This is repeated until either the parse succeeds or the * leftmost field is one character in length. If the parse still fails at that * point, the parse of the run fails. * *
See {@link #set2DigitYearStart} for more about handling two-digit years. * *
If you're formatting for human use, you should use an instance returned from * {@link DateFormat} as described above. This code: *
* DateFormat[] formats = new DateFormat[] {
* DateFormat.getDateInstance(),
* DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(),
* DateFormat.getTimeInstance(),
* };
* for (DateFormat df : formats) {
* System.out.println(df.format(new Date(0)));
* }
*
*
* Produces this output when run on an {@code en_US} device in the America/Los_Angeles time zone: *
* Dec 31, 1969 * Dec 31, 1969 4:00:00 PM * 4:00:00 PM ** And will produce similarly appropriate localized human-readable output on any user's system. * *
If you're formatting for machine use, consider this code: *
* String[] formats = new String[] {
* "yyyy-MM-dd",
* "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm",
* "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mmZ",
* "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ",
* "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ",
* };
* for (String format : formats) {
* SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format, Locale.US);
* System.out.format("%30s %s\n", format, sdf.format(new Date(0)));
* sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
* System.out.format("%30s %s\n", format, sdf.format(new Date(0)));
* }
*
*
* Which produces this output when run in the America/Los_Angeles time zone: *
* yyyy-MM-dd 1969-12-31 * yyyy-MM-dd 1970-01-01 * yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm 1969-12-31 16:00 * yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm 1970-01-01 00:00 * yyyy-MM-dd HH:mmZ 1969-12-31 16:00-0800 * yyyy-MM-dd HH:mmZ 1970-01-01 00:00+0000 * yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1969-12-31 16:00:00.000-0800 * yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000+0000 * yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1969-12-31T16:00:00.000-0800 * yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000+0000 ** *
As this example shows, each {@code SimpleDateFormat} instance has a {@link TimeZone}. * This is because it's called upon to format instances of {@code Date}, which represents an * absolute time in UTC. That is, {@code Date} does not carry time zone information. * By default, {@code SimpleDateFormat} will use the system's default time zone. This is * appropriate for human-readable output (for which, see the previous sample instead), but * generally inappropriate for machine-readable output, where ambiguity is a problem. Note that * in this example, the output that included a time but no time zone cannot be parsed back into * the original {@code Date}. For this * reason it is almost always necessary and desirable to include the timezone in the output. * It may also be desirable to set the formatter's time zone to UTC (to ease comparison, or to * make logs more readable, for example). It is often best to avoid formatting completely when * writing dates/times in machine-readable form. Simply sending the "Unix time" as a {@code long} * or as the string corresponding to the long is cheaper and unambiguous, and can be formatted any * way the recipient deems appropriate. * *

/**
* Sets the date which is the start of the one hundred year period for two-digit year values.
*
* When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern {@code yy}, {@code
* SimpleDateFormat} must interpret the abbreviated year relative to some
* century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within 80 years before and 20
* years after the time the {@code SimpleDateFormat} instance was created. For
* example, using a pattern of {@code MM/dd/yy}, an
* instance created on Jan 1, 1997 would interpret the string {@code "01/11/12"}
* as Jan 11, 2012 but interpret the string {@code "05/04/64"} as May 4, 1964.
* During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, as
* defined by {@link java.lang.Character#isDigit(char)}, will be parsed into the
* default century. Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a
* three or more digit string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for
* example, {@code "-1"}), is interpreted literally. So using the same pattern, both
* {@code "01/02/3"} and {@code "01/02/003"} are parsed as Jan 2, 3 AD.
* Similarly, {@code "01/02/-3"} is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.
*
* If the year pattern does not have exactly two 'y' characters, the year is
* interpreted literally, regardless of the number of digits. So using the
* pattern {@code MM/dd/yyyy}, {@code "01/11/12"} is parsed as Jan 11, 12 A.D.
