You need to use SimpleDateFormat class to do the needful for you

String date = "Your input date"
 DateFormat originalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("<Your Input format here>", Locale.US)
 DateFormat targetFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("<Your desired format here>", Locale.US)
 Date Fdate = originalFormat.parse(date)
 formattedDate = targetFormat.format(Fdate)
