Use this function :

 private String convertDate(String dt) {

            //String date="2017-05-23T06:25:50";

            try {
                SimpleDateFormat spf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"); //date format in which your current string is
                Date newDate = null;
                newDate = spf.parse(dt);
                spf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/DD/yyyy"); //date format in which you want to convert
                dt = spf.format(newDate);
                System.out.println(dt);

                Log.e("FRM_DT", dt);

            } catch (ParseException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return dt;

        }
