What happened?
I wanted to check how we can get the time portion of datetime fields like created_at and updated_at using the Java SDK (I understand that it could be done by calling the API directly).
Right now, I saw that Date parsing comes from the GSON DateDeserializer, however the loop in the function below, always circuit-breaks at the first given DATE_FORMATS which is "yyyy-MM-dd" (and therefore ignoring the time portion when deserializing).
@Override
public Date deserialize(JsonElement json, Type type, JsonDeserializationContext context)
throws JsonParseException {
for (String format : DATE_FORMATS) {
try {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
return sdf.parse(json.getAsString());
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new JsonParseException("Unable to parse this date format");
}
}
throw new JsonParseException("Unparseable date: \"" + json.getAsString() + "\"");
}
When called from https://github.com/EasyPost/easypost-java/blob/master/src/main/java/com/easypost/http/Requestor.java#L618
As classes are final and instantiated, not injected, I didn't not find a straightforward way to override the behavior of this serializer. What do you suggest? For some fields like est_delivered_date, and tracker datetime we do need to capture the time portion.
What was expected?
The timestamp portion of the "datetime" would be captured and parsed correctly.
