title: SimpleDateFormat ParseException: Unparseable date Error
body: <p>I'm parsing this date format from XML:=> "<strong>2011-12-06T07:41:14.016+00:00</strong>", and I'm getting this error:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong>W/System.err(574): java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date:
  "2011-12-06T07:41:14.016+00:00"</strong></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm certain it's the formatting statement I'm using, but I can't figure out what it SHOULD be...</p>
  
  <p>Here's the statement I'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.SSSZ:ss");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get how to create a format for this part: "<strong>2011-12-06T07:41:14</strong>....", it's this other part :=> "<strong>.016+00:00</strong>" that's throwing me for a loop.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked for answers here already: <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html">Android SimpleDateFormat Page</a>, and here <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html">Oracle SimpleDateFormat Page</a>, but I fear I'm missing something fundamental....</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any suggestions on a proper format statement for that particular date format, or pertinent resources to peruse?</p>
  
  <p>Big Thanks in advance! </p>
