Answer 2

Use

yyyy-MM-dd

Note: Capital MM

See : SimpleDateFormat

Now, once you have the date instance you could use Calendar to do the days arithmetic

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(parsedDate);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 102);
String expDateString = dateFormatter.format(cal.getTime());

Answer 3

Once you have the correct format, you could use JodaTime. You could parse the String value directly using JodaTime, but since you've already done that, I've not bothered...

Date date = ...;
DateTime dt = new DateTime(date);
dt = dt.plusDays(102);
date = dt.toDate();
