Java: how to handle a date with format like '2014-01-01T01:14:48.000+08:00'

Question

I got a date 2014-01-01T01:14:48.000+08:00 from a web server. Does anyone know how to parse this correctly? How to get its time offset?

You mean parse? or format? or reformat? What is your expected output? — Adam, Jun 23 '15 at 06:05
Use SimpleDateFormat to parse that Date and then use a Calendar to get the timeOffset — Jens, Jun 23 '15 at 06:06
This type of format is called ISO 8601, google has plenty of answers...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2201925/converting-iso-8601-compliant-string-to-java-util-date — Adam, Jun 23 '15 at 06:18

String s="2014-01-01T01:14:48.000+08:00";
         SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
         System.out.println(sdf.format(s));

I don't think this will work... – Codebender Jun 23 '15 at 06:16
This doesn't work: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot format given Object as a Date – Adam Jun 23 '15 at 06:17

You need something like this,

SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.SSSX");
System.out.println(sdf.parse(y));

The X is for timezone.
