SimpleDateFormat is nor working for Android anymore

[Carlos Verdier]

Hi

I've found that SimpleDateFormat fails to parse for Android devices since the last version. Works fine for Simulator and iOS. Building against 6.0 makes it work again.

So this code is not working for the last version:

SimpleDateFormat formatoPicker = new SimpleDateFormat("d-MMM-yyyy");
Picker calendarioInicio = findPicker(f);
calendarioInicio.setFormatter(formatoPicker);

Hi,

yes it seems that this is a regression due to this fix https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/issues/2773

It fixed localization but parsing broke as a result.

[Carlos Verdier]

Oh, Ok. Will this be fixed on this Friday update?

[Shai Almog]

Hopefully, this is the next thing on my agenda for today.

[Carlos Verdier]

Hi, Shai

Did you have the time to get into this? I'm still having the same problem.

Thank you

[Shai Almog]

Hi,

this was fixed back then but going over the code there might be one place I missed. I fixed that and it should be within the Friday update.

[Carlos Verdier]

I'm afraid this is still going on.

Again, it works on simulator and iOS. Only fails on Android.

That's a different issue. Odd that it would only happen on Android. We have a fix for it and it will be a part of the coming update this Friday.

[Carlos Verdier]

Great, thank you
