Change date string format in android

Question

I am getting date string from SAX parsing like this: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 07:55:29 +0000

Now, I want this string as : Apr 18, 2012 01:25 PM

Answer 1

This is works for me, using SimpleDateFormat and Calendar

String originDate = "Wed, 18 Apr 2012 07:55:29 +0000";
SimpleDateFormat formatIn = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss Z");
SimpleDateFormat formatOut = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy hh:mm a");
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(formatIn.parse(originDate));

String newDate = formatOut.format(calendar.getTime());
