Is there any chances date time increment by 5hr:30min  while converting string date to date

India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+0530, so it looks like the date is being parsed with the assumption that it's in UTC, then is being output as IST. You'll have to set the time zone on your SimpleDateFormat object or use a date format that includes the time zone.

HI,

I am not able to convert to date--> getting parse exception:

            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'Z'");
	    sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
	    String scheduleTime = "2016-09-14 12:30:00";
            System.out.println(sdf.parse(scheduleTime));

Select all Open in new window

Take the Z back out of your format string. You might also need to set the time zone to IST, not UTC, for this to work right.

YES IT IS WORKING NOW WITH BELOW CODE
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("IST"));
String scheduleTime = "2016-09-14 12:30:00";
System.out.println(sdf.parse(scheduleTime));


let suppose i am running this program on utc timezone based server.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
String scheduleTime = "2016-09-14 12:30:00";
System.out.println(sdf.parse(scheduleTime));

WILL THIS PRINT SAME TIME LIKE (2016-09-14 12:30:00)?

In my local machine for utc timezone it is giving output as
Wed Sep 14 18:00:00 IST 2016

That is fine

           SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
	    sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
	    String scheduleTime = "2016-09-14 12:30:00";
        Date date =sdf.parse(scheduleTime);
        System.out.println(date);

Select all Open in new window

will this code print same time as above(2016-09-14 12:30:00) when it is running in utc time zone based server?

why it is not printing same time in my local machine?

Don't know. It grabs the default time zone from somewhere. I don't know where. That's why you have to specify it, to be sure, both when parsing and when formatting.
