Changing T Z Format Dates to DD/MM/YYYY in Android

When dealing with date formatting in Android, one common challenge is converting the ISO 8601 format, such as 2022-12-08T06:07:34.780Z, into a more user-friendly format like DD/MM/YYYY. This guide will guide you on how to tackle this issue effectively using SimpleDateFormat in Java.

Understanding the Problem

The T Z Format, which is widely used in APIs, can be difficult to read for end-users. For instance, when you receive a date in the format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ, it may not be suitable for display on your app's user interface, especially if your users expect dates in the DD/MM/YYYY format. Hence, we need to parse the incoming date string and reformat it.

Step-by-Step Solution

Let’s break down the solution into clear sections:

Step 1: Initializing the Date String

First, you need to have the date string you wish to transform. This can be fetched from your order list or any relevant data. Here, we'll use a sample date string:
