[android-developers] Re: Problem in SimpleDateFormat MMM return month number
I had the same issue trying to parse this date string: Sat, 04 Sep 2010 01:50:17 + with this: SimpleDateFormat(EEE, dd MMM HH:mm:ss ). 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 HH:mm:ss , 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.

[android-developers] Re: Problem in SimpleDateFormat MMM return month number
I had one of my users perform the following tests. They have an HTC
Desire running Froyo and have the locale set to French.
new SimpleDateFormat(, d ).format(new Date())
new SimpleDateFormat(, d , Locale.FRENCH).format(new Date())
new SimpleDateFormat(, d , Locale.getDefault()).format(new
Date())
new SimpleDateFormat(, d ,
getResources().getConfiguration().locale).format(new Date())
Each time, the return string is the same: 7, 7 8
Both Locale.getDefault() and the configuration locale are set to
French (France) (fr_FR)
Pretty busted, if you ask me... does anyone know of a workaround that
doesn't involve manually sticking days/weekdays into strings.xml?

Theproblemis when you do not care what locale are set and simply
want to use system-wide, not any particular one.
Calling setDefault is same like passing locale to SimpleDateFormater
constructor - you need to either specify locale or read system
settings and pass that in hope it works. Since this is like blind fix
it may or may not work but you still do not know what the culprit is.

Interesting. This suggests that something is broken in the actual
Java JDK stuff.

We got same problem on Desire, so it looks like device firmware issue.
Somebody with a Desire should create a sample project demonstrating
the error and open an issue on b.android.com -- not to fix the problem
(that's an HTC issue), but to get a new CTS test case added to prevent
this problem in the future. Plus, given the test project, we can try
other HTC devices and see if the problem exists on the EVO,
Incredible, etc.
Code is is quite simple.
Date date =
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat();
formatter.applyLocalizedPattern( );
= formatter.format( date );
the issue is with , EEE, and MMM (in general all localised)
But what I now spotted, that this code no longer works on 1.5
emulator, even it worked yesterday. Quite impressive - we will
investigate the culprit.
Work around is simple, just instance SimpleDateFormat with specified
locale (i.e. SimpleDateFomat(, Locale.) but this is not what
shall be done in the first place. Anyone else facing this?

I would be suspicious that the application is not finding its locale information, and is therefore defaulting to non-textual data.
