Joda time : How to convert String to LocalDate?
- by bsreekanth
Hello,
How to specify the format string to convert the date alone from string. In my case, only the date part is relevant
Constructing it as DateTime fails:
String dateString = "2009-04-17";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateTime dateTime = formatter.parseDateTime(dateString);
with error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "2011-04-17" is too short
Probably because I should use LocalDate instead. But, I do not see any formatter for LocalDate . What is the best way to convert String dateString = "2009-04-17"; into LocalDate (or something else if that is not the right representation)
thanks...
