java - Conversion of Date

Question

I am getting date in two different formats.
1) 2012-01-05
2) 05/01/2012
But I want this to be in the below format. "5 Jan 2011"

Now I'm having String d1="2012-01-05" and String d2="2012-01-05".

Answer 1

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");  
String now = formatter.format(new Date());

this u want right...

or

String oldString = "2009-12 Dec";
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM").parse(oldString)); // Yes, month name is ignored but we don't need this.
calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE));
String newString = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy").format(calendar.getTime()).toUpperCase();
System.out.println(newString); // 31-DEC-2009
