Get date/time with SimpleDateFormat

folks! I've got such date entry:

<pubDate>23/06/2011 11:57</pubDate>

I try to parse it:

mDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm");
item_tag.getChild("pubDate").setEndTextElementListener(new EndTextElementListener() {

            @Override
            public void end(String body) {
                date= new GregorianCalendar(0,0,0).getTime();
                try {
                    date=mDateFormat.parse(body);
                } catch (ParseException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });

But I get something like that: 23/57/2011 11:57 I get minutes instead of month value What's wrong with my code?

Your code looks OK. Check out what do you really pass to this method, or just check what will happen if you insert line like:

body = "23/06/2011 11:57";

As shown in examples here, you should use '-' instead of '/' when instantiating a mask.
