I have a arraylist which is string type. In this arraylist i store some date like

 ArrayList<String> date = new ArrayList<String>();
    date.add("20-jan-2013 11:32:39 AM");
    date.add("21-jan-2013 11:32:39 AM");
    date.add("22-jan-2013 11:32:39 AM");
    date.add("23-jan-2013 11:32:39 AM");
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    date.add("29-jan-2013 11:32:39 AM");

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss aa");
Date convertedDate = new Date();
ArrayList<String> filteredDate=new ArrayList<String>;
Iterator<String> iterator = lList.iterator();

for (String temp : lList) 
{
 try
    {
    convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(temp);
     } 
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    if((convertedDate.before(date2)) && (convertedDate.after(date1))) //here "date2" and "date1" must be converted to dateFormat
    {
      filteredDate.add(convertedDate); // You can use these filtered ArrayList
    }
}
