public class SimpleDateFormat
extends DateFormat
SimpleDateFormat
is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner. It allows for formatting (date → text), parsing (text → date), and normalization.
SimpleDateFormat
allows you to start by choosing any user-defined patterns for date-time formatting. However, you are encouraged to create a date-time formatter with either getTimeInstance
, getDateInstance
, or getDateTimeInstance
in DateFormat
. Each of these class methods can return a date/time formatter initialized with a default format pattern. You may modify the format pattern using the applyPattern
methods as desired. For more information on using these methods, see DateFormat
.
Date and time formats are specified by date and time pattern strings. Within date and time pattern strings, unquoted letters from 'A'
to 'Z'
and from 'a'
to 'z'
are interpreted as pattern letters representing the components of a date or time string. Text can be quoted using single quotes ('
) to avoid interpretation. "''"
represents a single quote. All other characters are not interpreted; they're simply copied into the output string during formatting or matched against the input string during parsing.
The following pattern letters are defined (all other characters from 'A'
to 'Z'
and from 'a'
to 'z'
are reserved):
Pattern letters are usually repeated, as their number determines the exact presentation:

Calendar
is the Gregorian calendar, the following rules are applied.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 SimpleDateFormat
instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a SimpleDateFormat
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 by 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, "-1"), is interpreted literally. So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are parsed, using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD. Likewise, "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.'Y'
is specified and the calendar doesn't support any week years, the calendar year ('y'
) is used instead. The support of week years can be tested with a call to getCalendar()
.isWeekDateSupported()
.DateFormatSymbols
has been set explicitly with constructor SimpleDateFormat(String, DateFormatSymbols)
or method setDateFormatSymbols(DateFormatSymbols)
, the month names given by the DateFormatSymbols
are used.GMTOffsetTimeZone:Hours must be between 0 and 23, and Minutes must be between 00 and 59. The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard.GMT
Sign Hours:
Minutes Sign: one of+ -

For parsing, RFC 822 time zones are also accepted.
RFC822TimeZone: Sign TwoDigitHours Minutes TwoDigitHours: Digit DigitTwoDigitHours must be between 00 and 23. Other definitions are as for general time zones.
For parsing, general time zones are also accepted.

For formatting, if the offset value from GMT is 0, "Z"
is produced. If the number of pattern letters is 1, any fraction of an hour is ignored. For example, if the pattern is "X"
and the time zone is "GMT+05:30"
, "+05"
is produced.
For parsing, "Z"
is parsed as the UTC time zone designator. General time zones are not accepted.
If the number of pattern letters is 4 or more, IllegalArgumentException
is thrown when constructing a SimpleDateFormat
or applying a pattern.
SimpleDateFormat
also supports
localized date and time pattern strings. In these strings, the pattern letters described above may be replaced with other, locale dependent, pattern letters.
SimpleDateFormat
does not deal with the localization of text other than the pattern letters; that's up to the client of the class.

Date formats are not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.

看了官方文档描述,大概意思就是
1、支持从日期到文本及文本到日期的转换,提供默认的格式化方法及修改方式;
2、A到Z,a到z为预留字段,表示日期的格式化属性,如果作为文本需要通过单引号避免被解释;
3、不支持同步;
4、日期文本中包含中文字符时直接作为pattern的一部分进行格式化
常用规则:
public class FormatDateTime {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SimpleDateFormat myFmt=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy年MM月dd日 HH时mm分ss秒");
SimpleDateFormat myFmt1=new SimpleDateFormat("yy/MM/dd HH:mm");
SimpleDateFormat myFmt2=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");//等价于now.toLocaleString()
SimpleDateFormat myFmt3=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy年MM月dd日 HH时mm分ss秒 E ");
SimpleDateFormat myFmt4=new SimpleDateFormat(
"一年中的第 D 天 一年中第w个星期 一月中第W个星期 在一天中k时 z时区");
Date now=new Date();
System.out.println(myFmt.format(now));
System.out.println(myFmt1.format(now));
System.out.println(myFmt2.format(now));
System.out.println(myFmt3.format(now));
System.out.println(myFmt4.format(now));
System.out.println(now.toGMTString());
System.out.println(now.toLocaleString());
System.out.println(now.toString());
}
}
效果:

2004-12-16 17:24:27

一年中的第 351 天 一年中第51个星期 一月中第3个星期 在一天中17时 CST时区

下面是个JavaBean:
public class FormatDateTime {
public static String toLongDateString(Date dt){
SimpleDateFormat myFmt=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy年MM月dd日 HH时mm分ss秒 E ");
return myFmt.format(dt);
}
public static String toShortDateString(Date dt){
SimpleDateFormat myFmt=new SimpleDateFormat("yy年MM月dd日 HH时mm分");
return myFmt.format(dt);
}
public static String toLongTimeString(Date dt){
SimpleDateFormat myFmt=new SimpleDateFormat("HH mm ss SSSS");
return myFmt.format(dt);
}
public static String toShortTimeString(Date dt){
SimpleDateFormat myFmt=new SimpleDateFormat("yy/MM/dd HH:mm");
return myFmt.format(dt);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Date now=new Date();
System.out.println(FormatDateTime.toLongDateString(now));
System.out.println(FormatDateTime.toShortDateString(now));
System.out.println(FormatDateTime.toLongTimeString(now));
System.out.println(FormatDateTime.toShortTimeString(now));
}
}
调用的main 测试结果:
2004年12月16日 17时38分26秒 星期四
04年12月16日 17时38分
17 38 26 0965
一些有些变态的用法:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Date date = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"); //不支持第一种字符串格式化;
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddhh:mm:ss"); //建议采用该方式,可同时支持格式1、2解析
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd\\s*hh:mm:ss"); //不支持正则方式
SimpleDateFormat sdf3 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
SimpleDateFormat sdf4 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmssZ");
String dateStr = "2018-01-0211:29:19";
String dateStr1 = "2018-01-02 11:29:19";
String dateStr2 = "20180102112919";
// System.out.println(sdf.parse(dateStr)); //Error,Unparseable date
// System.out.println(sdf.parse(dateStr1)); //Success
// System.out.println(sdf.format(sdf1.parse(dateStr))); //success
// System.out.println(sdf.format(sdf1.parse(dateStr1))); //success
//
// System.out.println(sdf2.format(dateStr)); //error Cannot format given Object as a Date
// System.out.println(sdf2.format(dateStr1)); //error Cannot format given Object as a Date
System.out.println(sdf3.parse(dateStr2)); //Tue Jan 02 11:29:19 CST 2018
System.out.println(sdf4.format(date)); //20180103031436+0800
