java - Date format conversion Android

Question

I have string form of date:

2011-03-27T09:39:01.607

and I want to format it to March 27, 2011

I am using

DateFormat[] formats = new DateFormat[] {
DateFormat.getDateInstance(), DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(),
         DateFormat.getTimeInstance(), };
String actDate= formats[0].format(uploadeddate.substring(0,9));

but its not working.

How do I convert to March 27, 2011?

Answer 1

try this

SimpleDateFormat form = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS");
java.util.Date date = null;
try 
{
    date = form.parse("2011-03-27T09:39:01.607");
}
catch (ParseException e) 
{

    e.printStackTrace();
}
SimpleDateFormat postFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMMM dd, yyyy");
String newDateStr = postFormater.format(date);

now newDateStr = March 27, 2011;
