java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date Convert String to Timestamp

Question

I want to convert a String containing a date to Timestamp.

My String is something like this: 2014-06-10T03:03

What I try to do:

Date startDate = null, endDate = null;

    try {
        startDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").parse(fromDate);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        endDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")
                .parse(toDate);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

But I get this error:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2014-06-10T03:03".

Since you do not have the seconds in your DateString("2014-06-10T03:03"), you need to remove the pattern for seconds (":ss") from the format as well.

 startDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm")
