Conversion of Date

Question

I am getting date in two different formats.
1) 2012-01-05
2) 05/01/2012
But I want this to be in the below format. "5 Jan 2011"

Now I'm having String d1="2012-01-05" and String d2="2012-01-05".

Answer 1

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");  
String now = formatter.format(new Date());

this u want right...

or

String oldString = "2009-12 Dec";
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM").parse(oldString)); // Yes, month name is ignored but we don't need this.
calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE));
String newString = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy").format(calendar.getTime()).toUpperCase();
System.out.println(newString); // 31-DEC-2009

Take a look here: How to parse a date?

You have to determine, which format is used and than create a appropriate pattern.

After parsing the date, you can format it with another pattern, if you need a String:

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");  
String now = formatter.format(new Date());

Answer 3

This should retrieve the date in the format you want. Simple few lines.

            String pattern = "dd MMM yyyy";
            SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);

            System.out.println(format.format(new Date()));

String d1 = "2012-01-05";
String d2 = "05/01/2012";
SimpleDateFormat curFormater1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
SimpleDateFormat curFormater2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dateObj1 = null;

Date dateObj2 = null;
try {
    dateObj1 = curFormater.parse(d1);
    dateObj2 = curFormater.parse(d2);
} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
String date_new1 = formatter.format(d1);
String date_new2 = formatter.format(d2);
