Question

According to picture below, when I use item.takendate to SimpleDateFormat

I got "January 2016" instead of "January 2017"

what happen here? please advice.

Edit

However, when I use cdate parse back to Date it value is changed from 1st January to 2nd January

Answer 1

When using SimpleDateFormat, YYYY and yyyy have different meanings! You almost certainly want to use yyyy (actual year) instead of YYYY (week year).
