Java simpledateformat parses timezones, such as America / Los_ Angeles

I want to parse the following string in Java and convert it to a date:

DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:201@R_403_2407@23T120000

I tried this:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("'DTSTART;TZID='Z':'yyyyMMdd'T'hhmmss");
Date start = sdf.parse("DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:201@R_403_2407@23T120000");

And this:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("'DTSTART;TZID='z':'yyyyMMdd'T'hhmmss");
Date start = sdf.parse("DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:201@R_403_2407@23T120000");

But it still doesn't work I think the problem is America / Los_ Angeles. Can you help me?

thank you

Solution

Try this with timezone

Note: you must split the date string before performing this operation

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd'T'hhmmss");

    TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
    sdf.setTimeZone(tz);

    Date start = sdf.parse("201@R_403_2407@23T120000");

In simpledateformat mode, Z represents RFC 822 4-bit time zone
