Question

I am getting date from server as response in format MM/DD/YYYY in numeric as 8/14/2012.

Now, I am in a need to convert this format from 8/14/2012 to 14 Aug 2012.

Is it possible to do this with some in-built logic’s or I need to prepare some custom code of Java to fetch the required format.

Please suggest me.

Answer 1

Use date format for your requirement.

SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat format2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
Date date = format1.parse("8/14/2012");
System.out.println(format2.format(date));// which prints 14 Aug 2012.
