After converting string to date format month showing different

Question

I am converting string to date format year and date showing correct but month showing different.

String s = "2018-08-29"
try 
    {

        DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-DD", Locale.ENGLISH);

        Date parse = formatter.parse(s);

        long time = parse.getTime();

    }catch (ParseException e) {

         e.printStackTrace();

    }

output: Mon Jan 29 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2018

As an aside consider throwing away the long outmoded and notoriously troublesome `SimpleDateFormat` and friends, and adding [ThreeTenABP](https://github.com/JakeWharton/ThreeTenABP) to your Android project in order to use `java.time`, the modern Java date and time API. It is so much nicer to work with. — Ole V.V., Sep 03 '18 at 06:03

The problem is in your format.

D stands for day in year, but you need to get day in month with d.

This should be like this:

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd", Locale.ENGLISH);

I hope it's helpful

Sorry I missed it at first. Your date should be simple letters "dd" not "DD" DD is day in year dd is date in month
