simpledateformat - java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2015-03-26 1624:32:39"

Question

I'm generating a date string using the format yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mm:ss. However, when I attempt to parse the resulting string I get an error:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2015-03-26 1624:32:39"

Full example:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormatterAPITS = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mm:ss");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(new Date());
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 30); // add 30 days
Date newExpirationDate = dateFormatterAPITS.parse(
                           dateFormatterAPITS.format(cal.getTime())
                         );

Answer 1

Change yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mm:ss to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
