I had the same issue trying to parse this date string: "Sat, 04 Sep 2010 01:50:17 +0000" with this: SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZZ"). That was working perfectly on Android 2.2.
I tried the app on a non-english Android 1.5 device and that didn't work any more. I fixed my problem by forcing the English locale like this: SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZZ", Locale.ENGLISH) Now the date string is parsed correctly on Android 1.5 and 2.2 (I assume any 1.5+). Hope it helps someone else. 12% are still using Android 1.5 ;( Mathieu On Aug 9, 5:05 am, mot12 <martin.hu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I had similar problems and have been using > android.text.format.DateFormat instead: > DateFormat.format("EEE", cal) > > Martinwww.mobitobi.com > Gentle Alarm > Sleep Now! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
