Java.Text.DateFormat.Parse Method
Parses a date from the specified string starting at the index specified by position.

Syntax

[Android.Runtime.Register("parse", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/text/ParsePosition;)Ljava/util/Date;", "GetParse_Ljava_lang_String_Ljava_text_ParsePosition_Handler")]
public abstract Java.Util.Date Parse (string string, ParsePosition position)

Parameters

string
the string to parse.
position
input/output parameter, specifies the start index in string from where to start parsing. If parsing is successful, it is updated with the index following the parsed text; on error, the index is unchanged and the error index is set to the index where the error occurred.

Returns

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

Parses a date from the specified string starting at the index specified by position. If the string is successfully parsed then the index of the ParsePosition is updated to the index following the parsed text. On error, the index is unchanged and the error index of ParsePosition is set to the index where the error occurred.

By default, parsing is lenient: If the input is not in the form used by this object's format method but can still be parsed as a date, then the parse succeeds. Clients may insist on strict adherence to the format by calling setLenient(false).
