Convert Date from dd/mm/yyyy to mm-dd-yyyy

if (date.matches("\\d{2}/\\d{2}/\\d{4}")) {
    SimpleDateFormat fromUser = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
    SimpleDateFormat myFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    parsedDate = myFormat.format(fromUser.parse(date));
}

SimpleDateFormat form = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss aa");
