Getting error java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: (at offset 0) even if the Simple date format and string value are identical

Question

I\'m always getting the parse exception even if the format to check and the string value are same. Here is the code:

String format = \"EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z

Here is the code of dateformatter which will hep you to convert your date into any time format.

public void setDate(String date) {
            dateInput = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.dateText);
            DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
            try {
                dateData = inputFormat.parse(date);
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("pur your desirable format");
            String outputString = outputFormat.format(dateData);
            dateInput.setText(outputString);
        }
