Retrieved JSON contains [0.0] randomly in the data - blackberry

Question

I've been retrieving json from my web service, with the data containing [0.0] in odd places, such as in the middle of "tit[0.0] le". I'm viewing the info in the console, so I just ignored it as when I actually use it it is not present.
However, I'm currently building a calendar and placing the retrieved events in it. The problem with a particular event is that the [0.0] seems to be lodged in between the timestamp 2012-03-[0.0] 01T00:00:00. It's only happening with this event that the [0.0] is not going away when I use it. Of course, the httpdateparser cant retrieve the date properly, with it interpreting it a day early. I think the [0.0] is the cause.
How do I get rid of the [0.0]? parse it out? I don't think it is actually there...
EDIT:
it looks like the [0.0] are just added by the blackberry console for viewing purposes.
But why is it only on the two events that are not working correctly?
full_date:2012-02-29T00:00:00
full_date:2012-03-01T00:00:00
Both these dates are parsed using the following:
Date date = new Date(HttpDateParser.parse(date_full));
c.setTime(date);
int theMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int theYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int theDate = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
For theDate I get feb 28 and 29 respectively. Does this have to do with leap years? I thought Calendar delt with this stuff?

Answer 1

Check the list of valid date formats on the API. I found "yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssTZD" (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00) is on it. Maybe you need to append timezone information.
[EDITED]
Adjusting the date comes from web service to the device timezone may fix the problem. When calender.get(property) is invoked it considers device timezone.
