DateFormat 和 SimpleDateFormat

DateFormat是一個格式化和解析日期或時間的抽象類. 它的子類, 如SimpleDateFormat, 允許進行格式化(即date -> text), 分析(text -> date), 規範化. 該日期以Date對象表示, 或自1970年1月1日, 格林尼治標準時間(GMT)00:00:00起以毫秒表示.

SimpleDateFormat是一個用於本土(locale-sensitive)格式化和解析日期方式的具體類.

Example

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy  hh:mm:ss a");  

String now = formatter.format(new Date());
