I want to convert this into its exact date time format to store it in SQL.

Answer 1

Try this:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");

For future reference read up on the SimpleDateFormat class: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
