Android Question Date ParseException Problem

[cb56]

In a random way, during repetitive operations, this error occurs:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2020: 09: 20 12:50:50"

On this date and other dates, but randomly, in the sense that sometimes there are no errors on the same dates


I use this code:

Sub GetExifDateTime (Fpath As String, Fname As String) As Long
Dim temp As String
Dim ExifDate As Long
Dim exif As ExifData
exif.Initialize(Fpath, Fname)
temp = exif.getAttribute(exif.TAG_DATETIME)
DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyy:MM:dd HH:mm:ss"
ExifDate = DateTime.DateParse(temp)     
Return ExifDate
End Sub

'In starter Service:

Sub Service_Create
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeStatic("java.util.Locale").RunMethod("setDefault", Array(jo.GetField("US")))
End Sub

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2020: 09: 20 12:50:50"

There are extra spaces in the date string.

Hi, the problem wasn't the spaces - if you try this code you will see that it works.

Sub Button1_Click
        
        Dim temp As String
        Dim ExifDate As Long
        
        Try
            
            temp = "2020: 09: 20 12:50:50"

            DateTime.DateFormat= "yyyy:MM:dd HH:mm:ss"
            
            ExifDate = DateTime.DateParse(temp)
            
            Log (ExifDate)
            
            xui.MsgboxAsync("OK:" & ExifDate, "B4X")

        Catch
            Log(LastException.Message)
            xui.MsgboxAsync("Wrong Date:", "B4X")
        End Try

End Sub

The problem was probably a service of mine running that was performing the same operation at the same time (DateTime.DateParse). Stopped the service the problem was solved.

Thanks anyway
