convert a String in java to datetime with specified format [duplicate]

Question

I would like to convert a String object in java to a Datetime. The String has the following format:

ddMMyyyyhhmm

I wonder if there is a short way to do it.

Heard of SimpleDateFormat ?

try to use Simple date formatter, like:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyyhhmm");// or any date format you want
Date date = sdf.parse(s);

Something like this?

 String string = "date string here"

 DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("ddMMyyyyHHmm");
 DateTime dt = formatter.parseDateTime(string);
