Remove time from GMT time format

Question

I am getting a date that comes in GMT format, Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT. The problem is that the time is messing up the timeline that I am using.

How can I strip ou

Answer 1

You can first convert the date to String:

String dateString = String.valueOf(date);

Then apply substring to the String:

dateString.substring(4, 11) + dateString.substring(30);

You need to take care as converting date to String will actually change the date format as well.
