DateTime parsing exception in java

Question

I'm developing my mobile app with API. Binding datetime gives me error java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '2022-12-16T00:00:00+03:00' could not be parsed, unparsed text found at index 19. Please help me format this weird date

fun formatDateOfReview(dateOfReview: String?): String? {
    val localDate = LocalDateTime.parse(dateOfReview)
    return localDate.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd.MM.yyyy"))
}

@jhamon that pattern is not used to parse the input but rather to format it as date only. — deHaar

That is a combined date-time with a time zone in ISO 8601 format.

LocalDateTime.parse(dateOfReview)

LocalDateTime is "A date-time without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system" (emphasis added).

Please use OffsetDateTime instead.

Good answer. Unfortunately, that Wikipedia article uses the words “time zone” where it should use “offset”. The +03:00 is an offset from UTC, not a time zone. A time zone is a named history of the past, present, and future changes to the offset used by the people of a particular region, as decided by their politicians. The time zone has a name in the format of continent/region, such as Africa/Nairobi, Europe/Helsinki, and Indian/Mayotte.
