Answer 1

Just Simple copy this method pass data

public static String ConvertToDate(String dateString,String inputFormater ,String outputFormater) {
        String outputText = "" ;
        try {
            SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(inputFormater);
            SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(outputFormater);
            Date parsed = null;
            parsed = inputFormat.parse(dateString);
            outputText = outputFormat.format(parsed);

        Log.d(TAG, "  msg : " + outputText);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.e(TAG, "ERROR : " + e.getMessage());
        }
        return outputText;
    } 

And call it like

 public static String INPUTE_JSON_DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
 public static String FORMAT_FOR_JOB_APPLIED = "MMM dd, yyyy";
 String date ="2017-10-29";
 ConvertToDate(date ,DateUtils.INPUTE_JSON_DATE_FORMAT ,DateUtils.FORMAT_FOR_JOB_APPLIED);  

You can put any format you want in your cituation

ConvertToDate("2011-11-30","yyyy/mm/dd" ,"mm/dd/yyyy");
