Answer 1

The following code should work well:

try{
String str = "2013-01-17 11:26";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm");
Date date = (Date)dateFormat.parse(str);
System.out.println("str :"+str);
System.out.println("Date :"+date);
}
catch(Exception e){
   e.getStackTrace();
}

Answer 2

Just Using of DateFormat Class:

ateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm");

Answer 3

You are using the wrong format. MM is for month, and mm is for minutes, and for hours use HH. See SimpleDateFormat for various other formats.

Change your format to: -

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
