Migrate from org.joda.time.DateTimeFormat to Java Time

Joda-Time DateTimeFormat and ISODateTimeFormat migrate to java.time DateTimeFormatter.

Joda-time and java.time use same concept for DateTimeFormatters.

There are 4 predefined types of dateTime, they are:

  • Full
  • Long
  • Medium
  • Short

For parsing, only medium and short methods have equivalents in java.time.

Be aware if you are using the correct pattern for this formatter.

E.g. Using a date only formatter to try parse datetime.

Examples

Format

Before 
    DateTimeFormatter joda = DateTimeFormat.longDateTime();
    String jodaResult = joda.print(long);
After 
    java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter javaFormatter = java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDateTime(FormatStyle.LONG);
    String javaResult = javaFormatter.format(ZonedDateTime.ofInstant(Instant.ofEpochMilli(long), ZoneId.systemDefault()));

Parse

Before 
    DateTimeFormatter jodaDtf = DateTimeFormat.mediumDateTime();
    long jodaResult = jodaDtf.parseMillis(expectedString);
After 
    java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter javaDtf = java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDateTime(FormatStyle.MEDIUM);
    long javaResult =  java.time.LocalDateTime.parse(expectedString, javaDtf).atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant().toEpochMilli();
