Answer 1

Maybe you need to tackle different input formats Then catch the currently unmanaged format exception (just a sample):

private String getconvertdate(String date) {
    System.out.println(date.length());
    DateFormat inputFormat = null;
            if(date.length() == 20)
                inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss",Locale.ENGLISH);
    if(date.length() == 10)
        inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd",Locale.ENGLISH) ;

    if(null == inputFormat)
        return "Format invalid";

    inputFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
    DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH);
    Date parsed = null;
    try {
        parsed = inputFormat.parse(date);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        return "Input Date invalid";
    }
    String outputText = outputFormat.format(parsed);
    return outputText;
}
