<pre>public abstract class <span class="strong">DateFormat</span>
extends <a href="../../java/text/Format.html" title="class in java.text">Format</a></pre>
<div class="block"><code>DateFormat</code> is an abstract class for date/time formatting subclasses which
formats and parses dates or time in a language-independent manner.
The date/time formatting subclass, such as <a href="../../java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html" title="class in java.text"><code>SimpleDateFormat</code></a>, allows for
formatting (i.e., date -> text), parsing (text -> date), and
normalization. The date is represented as a <code>Date</code> object or
as the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
<p><code>DateFormat</code> provides many class methods for obtaining default date/time
formatters based on the default or a given locale and a number of formatting
styles. The formatting styles include <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#FULL"><code>FULL</code></a>, <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#LONG"><code>LONG</code></a>, <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#MEDIUM"><code>MEDIUM</code></a>, and <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#SHORT"><code>SHORT</code></a>. More
detail and examples of using these styles are provided in the method
descriptions.
<p><code>DateFormat</code> helps you to format and parse dates for any locale.
Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions for
months, days of the week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
<p>To format a date for the current Locale, use one of the
static factory methods:
<pre>
myString = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(myDate);
</pre>
<p>If you are formatting multiple dates, it is
more efficient to get the format and use it multiple times so that
the system doesn't have to fetch the information about the local
language and country conventions multiple times.
<pre>
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
for (int i = 0; i < myDate.length; ++i) {
output.println(df.format(myDate[i]) + "; ");
}
</pre>
<p>To format a date for a different Locale, specify it in the
call to <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#getDateInstance(int,%20java.util.Locale)"><code>getDateInstance()</code></a>.
<pre>
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, Locale.FRANCE);
</pre>
<p>You can use a DateFormat to parse also.
<pre>
myDate = df.parse(myString);
</pre>
<p>Use <code>getDateInstance</code> to get the normal date format for that country.
There are other static factory methods available.
Use <code>getTimeInstance</code> to get the time format for that country.
Use <code>getDateTimeInstance</code> to get a date and time format. You can pass in
different options to these factory methods to control the length of the
result; from <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#SHORT"><code>SHORT</code></a> to <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#MEDIUM"><code>MEDIUM</code></a> to <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#LONG"><code>LONG</code></a> to <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#FULL"><code>FULL</code></a>. The exact result depends
on the locale, but generally:
<ul><li><a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#SHORT"><code>SHORT</code></a> is completely numeric, such as <code>12.13.52</code> or <code>3:30pm</code>
<li><a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#MEDIUM"><code>MEDIUM</code></a> is longer, such as <code>Jan 12, 1952</code>
<li><a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#LONG"><code>LONG</code></a> is longer, such as <code>January 12, 1952</code> or <code>3:30:32pm</code>
<li><a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#FULL"><code>FULL</code></a> is pretty completely specified, such as
<code>Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST</code>.
</ul>
<p>You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish.
If you want even more control over the format or parsing,
(or want to give your users more control),
you can try casting the <code>DateFormat</code> you get from the factory methods
to a <a href="../../java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html" title="class in java.text"><code>SimpleDateFormat</code></a>. This will work for the majority
of countries; just remember to put it in a <code>try</code> block in case you
encounter an unusual one.
<p>You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with
<a href="../../java/text/ParsePosition.html" title="class in java.text"><code>ParsePosition</code></a> and <a href="../../java/text/FieldPosition.html" title="class in java.text"><code>FieldPosition</code></a> to
allow you to
<ul><li>progressively parse through pieces of a string.
<li>align any particular field, or find out where it is for selection
on the screen.
</ul>
<h4><a name="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
<p>
Date formats are not synchronized.
It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
externally.</div>

<div class="block">Parse a date/time string according to the given parse position. For
example, a time text <code>"07/10/96 4:5 PM, PDT"</code> will be parsed into a <code>Date</code>
that is equivalent to <code>Date(837039900000L)</code>.
<p> By default, parsing is lenient: If the input is not in the form used
by this object's format method but can still be parsed as a date, then
the parse succeeds. Clients may insist on strict adherence to the
format by calling <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#setLenient(boolean)"><code>setLenient(false)</code></a>.
<p>This parsing operation uses the <a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#calendar"><code>calendar</code></a> to produce
a <code>Date</code>. As a result, the <code>calendar</code>'s date-time
fields and the <code>TimeZone</code> value may have been
overwritten, depending on subclass implementations. Any <code>TimeZone</code> value that has previously been set by a call to
<a href="../../java/text/DateFormat.html#setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone)"><code>setTimeZone</code></a> may need

<div class="block">Parses text from a string to produce a <code>Date</code>.
<p>
The method attempts to parse text starting at the index given by
<code>pos</code>.
If parsing succeeds, then the index of <code>pos</code> is updated
to the index after the last character used (parsing does not necessarily
use all characters up to the end of the string), and the parsed
date is returned. The updated <code>pos</code> can be used to
indicate the starting point for the next call to this method.
If an error occurs, then the index of <code>pos</code> is not
changed, the error index of <code>pos</code> is set to the index of
the character where the error occurred, and null is returned.
