Ext.util.Format.date ignores timezone in ISO 8601 dates in older browsers

REQUIRED INFORMATION

Ext version tested:

• Sencha Touch 2.1

Browser versions tested against:

• Android 2.3.6
• Android 4.2.1

Description:

In browsers without native support for parsing dates in ISO 8601 format (e.g. Android 2.3.6), Ext.util.Format.date ignores local timezone. E.g. when parsing date like 2013-01-04T15:00:00Z in GMT +1 time zone, Android 2.3.6 will incorrectly return 15:00 and Android 4.2.1 (or iOS6) will correctly return 16:00.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Call Ext.util.Format.date("2013-01-04T15:00:00Z", "H:i") in Android 2.3.6 WebView (it probably works in a browser as well).

The result that was expected:

• 16:00

The result that occurs instead:

• 15:00

Test Case:

Ext.util.Format.date("2013-01-04T15:00:00Z", "H:i")

There are few libraries for parsing dates in ISO8601 format (e.g. https://github.com/csnover/js-iso860...ter/iso8601.js), so it should be possible to add correct (or at least more correct) implementation for browsers without native support.

Currently the custom code for parsing ISO8601 dates looks like this (from http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/sou...-method-date):

iso8601SplitRe: /[- :T\.Z\+]/
...
date = value.split(this.iso8601SplitRe);                    
date = new Date(date[0], date[1]-1, date[2], date[3], date[4], date[5]);
