String to Date conversion returning wrong value

Question

String startDate = \"2013-07-24\";
Date date = new Date();
try{         
    DateForm         


        

Answer 1

Replace DD with dd to match the date.

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

As per the SimpledateFormat documentation

D Day in year

d Day in month
