Simple parsing SimpleDateFormat (String s) gives wrong date

As an input, I have a Date object (exDate = Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 EEST 2014) that needs to be formed. After parsing the date, I am getting the wrong date.

            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(
                    "dd-MMM-YYYY hh.mm.ss.SSSSSSSSS aa", Locale.ENGLISH);
            String dateStart = sdf.format(exDate);
            Date dateF = sdf.parse(dateStart);

dateStart will be

01-Aug-2014 12.00.00.000000000 AM

and resut, dateF will be

Sun Dec 29 00:00:00 EET 2013

So after parsing the date string, the result is wrong. Maybe anyone knows the source of the problem? Or another way to format the date in a different one SimpleDateFormat

?

The problem is YYYY which means :

 Y   Week year;

The actual year you are looking for will be yyyy

.



I really recommend that you follow the link above to see the full list.

You should also replace milliseconds with .SSS

as you cannot get a more accurate value.
