Simple Date Format for string

Question

I have my current data as 2012-08-20T12:30:00+05:30

  DateTime currentdata = "2012-08-20T12:30:00+05:30";

I am using

 String myDate = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(currentdata);

I get Cannot format given Object as a Date

Any clues??

can you convert with something like `Date dateOut = new Date(currentdata.getMillisecond());`, then use `dateOut` in your format call? — paul, Jul 23 '12 at 10:43
@oneofthelions Is the DateTime a joda.time class? If it is you can simply use something like this : `String myDate = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(currentdata.toDate());` — AxxA Osiris, Jul 23 '12 at 10:49

 String myDate = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(currentdata);

According to this line, currentdata may access String or Object.

  DateTime currentdata = "2012-08-2012:30:00+05:30";

According to this line, current data may be Object.This is error point.'format' method access Date object.Change your data type.If you don't want to change this, change your currentdata (2012-08-20T12:30:00+05:30) to (2012-08-2012 30:05:30). If you won't, illegal argument exception may be occured.
