java - ISO 8601 String to Date/Time object in Android

I have a string in standard ISO 8601 format that contains the date/time returned from a web service like so:

String dtStart = "2010-10-15T09:27:37Z"

How do I get this into an object such as Time or Date? I initially want to output it in a different format, but will need to do other stuff with it later (i.e. maybe use in a different format).

Cheers

Answer

String dtStart = "2010-10-15T09:27:37Z";  
SimpleDateFormat  format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");  
try {  
    Date date = format.parse(dtStart);  
    System.out.println(date);  

} catch (ParseException e) {  
    e.printStackTrace();  
}
