All the more a reason for me to switch to android.text.format, because that one DOES have those strings in several languages - but I can't see a replacement for SimpleDateFormat.parse(). Is there no way other than writing my own parser?

(even less were included in the 1.0 and 1.1 releases) Locales.getAvailableLocales() should return all locales that are supported. The goal will be to include all the locales ICU has to offer. But this is a mid term goal because of the already mentioned size issues. If you try to format a date with a locale that's not available I think it'll just return the number as a fallback. The same should apply to weekday names. -- Urs On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 5:54 PM, EboMike <ebom...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I need to parse a date using a flexible date format (like "MM/dd/yyyy" > or "dd-MMM"), and so far I've always used SimpleDateFormat for that > (since unfortunately, android.text.format.Time.parse doesn't support > date format strings).
