java.text.ParseException- Convert string to Date type in android

HI. I got this above error , when I try to convert string to date type format.

In my scenario   I get  the data in string variable then I need to convert the string to certain Date format.

For that I tried many ways to accomplish my needs but each try I got this below error..

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "01-08-2012"

Finally my friend refer the code ,then I convert the string to my date format.

Requirement Format I need:

“02 Feb “I need to this type of Format

Before the start the process you need to import the below namespace….

import java.util.*; import java.text.*;

This the code finally Work For me…………..

String strformat="MMM-dd"; String ddate="01-08-2012";//Date in string format try{                      SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");                      java.util.Date date=sdf.parse(ddate);                      sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM");//Format i need                                                 Toast.makeText(this, sdf.format(date), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();                            }               catch(Exception ex){                      Toast.makeText(this, ex.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();               }
