Example:

Current date time:

import java.time.LocalDateTime;

import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

LocalDateTime dt =  LocalDateTime.now();

//Format date time to String:

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");

String entryDateTime = dt.format(formatter);

//Reverse formatting to LocalDateTime

LocalDateTime fromStartDateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(entryDateTime );

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");

String strCurrDateTime = LocalDateTime.now().format(formatter);

LocalDateTime toCurrentDateTime =   LocalDateTime.parse(strCurrDateTime);//now
