    Date convertedDate = new Date();
    try {
        convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
    calendar.setTime(convertedDate);
    Date time = calendar.getTime();
    SimpleDateFormat outputFmt = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyy h:mm a zz");
    String utcTime = outputFmt.format(time);
