How change String to Date format

I have this string: 2018-09-22 10:17:24.772000
I want to convert it to Date:
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS");
String sdate = "2018-09-22 10:17:24.772000";
Date dateFrom = simpleDateFormat.parse(sdate);
but it shows: Sat Sep 22 10:17:24 GMT+03:30 2018

Here is what you should do instead, you are printing date object itself, you should print its format.
I will provide the code with old date api and new local date api :
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS");
String sdate = "2018-09-22 10:17:24.772000";
Date dateFrom = simpleDateFormat.parse(sdate);
System.out.println(dateFrom); // this is what you do
System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(dateFrom)); // this is what you should do
// below is from new java.time package
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS");
System.out.println(LocalDateTime.parse(sdate, formatter).format(formatter));
output is :
Sat Sep 22 10:30:16 EET 2018
2018-09-22 10:30:16.000000
2018-09-22 10:17:24.772000

Hope This will help you
public class Utils {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String mytime="2018-09-22 10:17:24.772000";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS");
Date myDate = null;
try {
myDate = dateFormat.parse(mytime);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String finalDate = timeFormat.format(myDate);
System.out.println(finalDate);
}
}

Looks to me like you have converted it to a Date. What is your desired result? I suspect what you are wanting to do is to create another Simple date format that shows your expected format and then use simpledateformat2.format(dateFrom)
I should also point out based on past experience that you should add a Locale to your simple date formats otherwise a device with a different language setting may not be able to execute this code
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS", Locale.US);

Parse yyyy-MM-DD String to Date yyyy-MM-DD in Android?

String startDateStr = "2017-02-03"
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-DD",Locale.US);
Date date = (Date)formatter.parse(startDateStr);
2017-02-03 date is parsed to Tue Jan 03 00:00:00 GMT+05:45 2017
Did I
miss something?
Update
I needed a string to be converted to a date object
while maintaining the same format.
The reason for this is I want to make use of public boolean after(Date when) method

This will work ^_^
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
String startDateStr ="2017-02-03";
Date date = null;
try {
date = inputFormat.parse(startDateStr);
String startDateStrNewFormat = outputFormat.format(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Little explanation of your output :
D is Day in year (1-365)
d is day in month (1-31)
Check the document

Use SimpleDateFormat type for fomatter. You are creating DateFormat object but using SimpleDateFormat.
String startDateStr = "2017-02-03"
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd",Locale.US);
Date date = (Date)formatter.parse(startDateStr);

Yes you missed something. You used DD instead of dd in your yyyy-MM-DD format string. Here is how you do it:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String formattedDate = sdf.format(new Date());

How to get proper written date using SimpleDateFormat in Java

I have this:
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
Date result = dateFormat.parse(this.getCreatedTime());
Basically I want to convert a string like "2016-09-27T09:19:57Z" into something like "September 27, 2016 at 9:19 AM".
If I use the code above I end up with a Date object, but all the methods are deprecated. So how do I achieve this?

You can use DateFormat again as #Thomas wrote:
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
Date inputDate = inputFormat.parse(this.getCreatedTime());
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("outputFormat");
String output = outputFormat.format(inputDate);

You should do research before posting any question here.
Use this to get Date from your required pattern
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'", Locale.getDefault());
Date date = null;
try {
date = format.parse(unformattedDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Make new instance of your desired patter.
format = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy 'at' HH:mm a", Locale.getDefault());
String formattedDate = format.format(date);

Parse String Date time in java

I have a date time (which is a string) in the following format: 2/19/2015 5:25:35 p.m, and I wanted to turn it in the following Date Format: Thu Feb 19 5:25:35 p.m. CET 2015 I tried the following code:
String sDatePrecedenteExecution = "19/02/2015 17:30:29";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat ("ddd d mmm yyyy HH: mm: ss");
Date date = format.parse (sDatePrecedenteExecution)
but I got the following error:
java.text.ParseException: unparseable Date: "2/19/2015 5:30:29 p.m."
Has java.text.DateFormat.parse (DateFormat.java:337)

You are currently using the "output" format to read your incoming date string (2/19/2015 5:25:35 p.m), which is why you see the error.
You need to specify a second format for parsing your incoming date string, and use that format to parse instead. It should look like this:
SimpleDateFormat inFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")
Date date = inFormat.parse(sDatePrecedenteExecution)
Note that you also have a bug in your output format - m means minutes, and you want MMM, which is months. Have a look at the docs.

Your SimpleDateFormat doesn't match the format which you are entering. They should reflect the same.
Try this code
String parseDate = ""19/02/2015 17:30:29";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
Date parsedDate = dateFormat.parse(parseDate);

You need to change your code something like...
String sDatePrecedenteExecution = "19/02/2015 17:30:29";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
try {
Date date = format.parse (sDatePrecedenteExecution);
System.out.println(date);
format = new SimpleDateFormat ("ddd d mmm yyyy HH: mm: ss");
String str = format.format(date);
System.out.println(str);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Try this pattern:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd mm yyyy HH:mm:ss");
You went wrong when you made: "ddd d mmm yyyy HH: mm: ss"

Use this pattern "dd/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss" instead & read the documentation
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String sDatePrecedenteExecution = "19/02/2015 17:30:29";
try{date =format.parse (sDatePrecedenteExecution);
}catch(Exception ex){//deal with it here}
System.out.println(date.toString()); //Thu Feb 19 17:30:29 UTC 2015

Help needed in formatting date in Java

Hi I have the following date as String format.
Input
2010-04-20 05:34:58.0
Output I want the string like
20, Apr 2010
Can someone tell me how to do it ?

Try this:
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S");
DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd, MMM yyyy");
Date yourDate = inputFormat.parse("2010-04-20 05:34:58.0");
String formattedDate = outputFormat.format(yourDate);

You might want to try this:
SimpleDateFormat inFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S");
Date date = inFormat.parse( "2010-04-20 05:34:58.0");
SimpleDateFormat outFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd, MMM yyyy");
System.out.println(outFormat.format( date));
