title: Android date time parsing
body: <p>I am trying to parse the following str to Date:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2013-10-23T11:00:00EDT
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using follwoing to do so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String TIMEZONE_DATE_TIME_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssz";
  Date date = new SimpleDateFormat(TIMEZONE_DATE_TIME_FORMAT, Locale.US).parse(strDate);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>its working good on most devices but on some it throws the following exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2013-10-23T11:00:00EDT" (at offset 19)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone explain why?</p>
