SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a language-independent manner.
It allows for formatting (millis -> text), parsing (text -> millis), and normalization. Formats/Parses a date or time, which is the standard milliseconds since 24:00 GMT, Jan 1, 1970.
Clients are encouraged to create a date-time formatter using DateFormat::getInstance(), getDateInstance(), getDateInstance(), or getDateTimeInstance() rather than explicitly constructing an instance ofSimpleDateFormat. This way, the client is guaranteed to get an appropriate formatting pattern for whatever locale the program is running in. If the client needs more control, they should consider usingDateFormat::createInstanceForSkeleton(). However, if the client needs something more unusual than the default patterns in the locales, he can construct aSimpleDateFormat directly and give it an appropriate pattern (or use one of the factory methods onDateFormat and modify the pattern after the fact withtoPattern() andapplyPattern().
Date and Time Patterns:
Date and time formats are specified bydate and time pattern strings. The full syntax for date and time patterns can be found athttps://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Format_Patterns.
Within date and time pattern strings, all unquoted ASCII letters [A-Za-z] are reserved as pattern letters representing calendar fields. Some of the most commonly used pattern letters are:
| Sym. | No. | Example | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | 1..3 | AD | Era - Replaced with the Era string for the current date. One to three letters for the abbreviated form, four letters for the long (wide) form, five for the narrow form. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| y | 1..n | 1996 | Year. Normally the length specifies the padding, but for two letters it also specifies the maximum length. Example:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Q | 1..2 | 02 | Quarter - Use one or two for the numerical quarter, three for the abbreviation, or four for the full (wide) name (five for the narrow name is not yet supported). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | Q2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | 2nd quarter | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| M | 1..2 | 09 | Month - Use one or two for the numerical month, three for the abbreviation, four for the full (wide) name, or five for the narrow name. With two ("MM"), the month number is zero-padded if necessary (e.g. "08"). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | Sep | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | September | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | S | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| d | 1..2 | 1 | Date - Day of the month. Use "d" to show the minimum number of digits, or "dd" to always show two digits (zero-padding if necessary, e.g. "08"). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| E | 1..3 | Tue | Day of week - Use one through three letters for the short day, four for the full (wide) name, five for the narrow name, or six for the short name. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Tuesday | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | T | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | Tu | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| a | 1 | AM | AM or PM | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| h | 1..2 | 11 | Hour [1-12]. When used in skeleton data or in a skeleton passed in an API for flexible data pattern generation, it should match the 12-hour-cycle format preferred by the locale (h or K); it should not match a 24-hour-cycle format (H or k). Use hh for zero padding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| H | 1..2 | 13 | Hour [0-23]. When used in skeleton data or in a skeleton passed in an API for flexible data pattern generation, it should match the 24-hour-cycle format preferred by the locale (H or k); it should not match a 12-hour-cycle format (h or K). Use HH for zero padding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| m | 1..2 | 59 | Minute. Use "m" to show the minimum number of digits, or "mm" to always show two digits (zero-padding if necessary, e.g. "08").. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| s | 1..2 | 12 | Second. Use "s" to show the minimum number of digits, or "ss" to always show two digits (zero-padding if necessary, e.g. "08"). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| z | 1..3 | PDT | Time zone. Theshort specific non-location format. Where that is unavailable, falls back to theshort localized GMT format ("O"). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Pacific Daylight Time | Thelong specific non-location format. Where that is unavailable, falls back to thelong localized GMT format ("OOOO"). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| v | 1 | PT | Time zone. Theshort generic non-location format. Where that is unavailable, falls back to thegeneric location format ("VVVV"), then theshort localized GMT format as the final fallback. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Pacific Time | Thelong generic non-location format. Where that is unavailable, falls back togeneric location format ("VVVV"). |
Any characters in the pattern that are not in the ranges of ['a'..'z'] and ['A'..'Z'] will be treated as quoted text. For instance, characters like ':', '.', ' ', '#' and '@' will appear in the resulting time text even they are not embraced within single quotes.
A pattern containing any invalid pattern letter will result in a failing UErrorCode result during formatting or parsing.
Examples using the US locale:
Format Pattern Result-------------- -------"yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss vvvv" ->> 1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 Pacific Time"EEE, MMM d, ''yy" ->> Wed, July 10,'96"h:mm a" ->> 12:08 PM"hh 'o''clock' a, zzzz" ->> 12 o'clock PM, Pacific Daylight Time"K:mm a, vvv" ->> 0:00 PM, PT"yyyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa" ->> 1996.July.10 AD 12:08 PM
Code Sample:
UErrorCode success =U_ZERO_ERROR;SimpleTimeZone* pdt =new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000,"PST");pdt->setStartRule( Calendar::APRIL, 1, Calendar::SUNDAY, 2*60*60*1000);pdt->setEndRule( Calendar::OCTOBER, -1, Calendar::SUNDAY, 2*60*60*1000);// Format the current time.SimpleDateFormat* formatterGregorianCalendar cal(success);UDate currentTime_1 = cal.getTime(success);FieldPosition fp(FieldPosition::DONT_CARE);UnicodeString dateString;formatter->format( currentTime_1, dateString, fp );cout <<"result: " << dateString << endl;// Parse the previous string back into a Date.ParsePosition pp(0);UDate currentTime_2 = formatter->parse(dateString, pp );U_I18N_API SimpleDateFormat(UErrorCode &status)Construct a SimpleDateFormat using the default pattern for the default locale.
In the above example, the time value "currentTime_2" obtained from parsing will be equal to currentTime_1. However, they may not be equal if the am/pm marker 'a' is left out from the format pattern while the "hour in am/pm" pattern symbol is used. This information loss can happen when formatting the time in PM.
When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern ("y" or "yy"),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 theSimpleDateFormat instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and aSimpleDateFormat instance created on Jan 1, 1997, the string "01/11/12" would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string "05/04/64" would be interpreted as May 4, 1964. During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, as defined byUnicode::isDigit(), 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, "-1"), is interpreted literally. So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are parsed (for the Gregorian calendar), using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD. Likewise (but only in lenient parse mode, the default) "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.
If the year pattern has more than two 'y' characters, the year is interpreted literally, regardless of the number of digits. So using the pattern "MM/dd/yyyy", "01/11/12" parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D.
When numeric fields abut one another directly, with no intervening delimiter characters, they constitute a run of abutting 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.
For time zones that have no names,SimpleDateFormat uses strings GMT+hours:minutes or GMT-hours:minutes.
The calendar defines what is the first day of the week, the first week of the year, whether hours are zero based or not (0 vs 12 or 24), and the timezone. There is one common number format to handle all the numbers; the digit count is handled programmatically according to the pattern.
User subclasses are not supported. While clients may write subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be guaranteed to work stably from release to release.

The locale is used to obtain the symbols used in formatting (e.g., the names of the months), but not to provide the pattern.
A numbering system override is a string containing either the name of a known numbering system, or a set of field and numbering system pairs that specify which fields are to be formatted with the alternate numbering system. For example, to specify that all numeric fields in the specified date or time pattern are to be rendered using Thai digits, simply specify the numbering system override as "thai". To specify that just the year portion of the date be formatted using Hebrew numbering, use the override string "y=hebrew". Numbering system overrides can be combined using a semi-colon character in the override string, such as "d=decimal;M=arabic;y=hebrew", etc.

Formats a date into a date/time string.
This is an abstract method which concrete subclasses must implement.
On input, theFieldPosition parameter may have its "field" member filled with an enum value specifying a field. On output, theFieldPosition will be filled in with the text offsets for that field.
For example, given a time text "1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 PDT", if the given fieldPosition.field is UDAT_YEAR_FIELD, the offsets fieldPosition.beginIndex and statfieldPositionus.getEndIndex will be set to 0 and 4, respectively.
Notice that if the same time field appears more than once in a pattern, the status will be set for the first occurrence of that time field. For instance, formatting a UDate to the time string "1 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)" using the pattern "h a z (zzzz)" and the alignment field DateFormat::TIMEZONE_FIELD, the offsets fieldPosition.beginIndex and fieldPosition.getEndIndex will be set to 5 and 8, respectively, for the first occurrence of the timezone pattern character 'z'.
| cal | Calendar set to the date and time to be formatted into a date/time string. When the calendar type is different from the internal calendar held by thisDateFormat instance, the date and the time zone will be inherited from the input calendar, but other calendar field values will be calculated by the internal calendar. |

Get the start UDate used to interpret two-digit year strings.
When dates are parsed having 2-digit year strings, they are placed within a assumed range of 100 years starting on the two digit start date. For example, the string "24-Jan-17" may be in the year 1817, 1917, 2017, or some other year.SimpleDateFormat chooses a year so that the resultant date is on or after the two digit start date and within 100 years of the two digit start date.
By default, the two digit start date is set to 80 years before the current time at which aSimpleDateFormat object is created.

Note that the normal date formats associated with some calendars - such as the Chinese lunar calendar - do not specify enough fields to enable dates to be parsed unambiguously. In the case of the Chinese lunar calendar, while the year within the current 60-year cycle is specified, the number of such cycles since the start date of the calendar (in the ERA field of theCalendar object) is not normally part of the format, and parsing may assume the wrong era. For cases such as this it is recommended that clients parse using the method parse(const UnicodeString&, Calendar& cal, ParsePosition&) with theCalendar passed in set to the current date, or to a date within the era/cycle that should be assumed if absent in the format.

Parse a date/time string.
For example, a time text "07/10/96 4:5 PM, PDT" will be parsed into a UDate that is equivalent to Date(837039928046). Parsing begins at the beginning of the string and proceeds as far as possible. Assuming no parse errors were encountered, this function doesn't return any information about how much of the string was consumed by the parsing. If you need that information, use the version ofparse() that takes aParsePosition.
