Putting Date from Parse.com to same type as System Date

Question

I want to ask, how can I put Date from Parse.com (which is in format "Sat Mar 01 15:52:20 GMT+1:00 2014") to same Date type as the date and time in system. Second thing I want to ask is, how to get only for example "month:day:hour:minute:year" from Parse.com even though the Date is given in format as written above.

Thanks for any suggestion!

You just try like this you can achieve the Date format conversion easily...

    String inputPattern = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss";
    String outputPattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy   hh:mm a";
    SimpleDateFormat inFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(inputPattern);
    SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(outputPattern);

    Date date1 = null;

    if (date != null) {
        try {
            date1 = inFormat.parse(date);
            str = outputFormat.format(date1);
            Log.d(null, str);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    } else {
        str = " ";
    }
