Parse HH:mm:ss from CSV file [duplicate]

Question

I'm loading a CSV file and need to parse two strings to localdate. Basically my project is about a Highscore list.

Example format in CSV file: {David,18.01.2019,Easy,00:05:30}

br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(csvFile)); DateTimeFormatter dateFormat = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd.MM.yyyy"); DateTimeFormatter timeFormat = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm:ss"); while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) { String[] highscore = line.split(cvsSplitBy); HighScore highScore = new HighScore( highscore[0], LocalDate.parse(highscore[1], dateFormat), highscore[2], LocalDate.parse(highscore[3], timeFormat)); highScoreList.add(highScore);

It throws an exception when it tries to parse 00:05:30.

java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '00:05:30' could not be parsed: Unable to obtain LocalDate from TemporalAccessor: {},ISO resolved to 00:05:30 of type java.time.format.Parsed

Now I know this has something to do with the format I previously defined in timeFormat but I still don't see my mistake. I hope you guys can help me!

Don't you want to use LocalTime when parsing the time column? — user21926

Didn't know that LocalTime exists. It works now thank you! Feel kind of dumb right now but I guess that's just normal for an inexperienced Java developer — Vins

00:05:30, is that a duration, an amount of time? IN that case you need the Duration class (neither LocalDate nor LocalTime). — Anonymous

I think your problem is that you try to parse local time into a date. In your case,you can use LocalTime object instead.

LocalTime.parse(highscore[3]);
