Answer 1

For your requirement, first you parse the input string with appropriate format. Then you do format the date. For more info refer SimpleDateFormat SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("M/d/yyyy"); Date myDate = dateFormat.parse("9/2/2016"); SimpleDateFormat dateFormat2 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy"); System.out.println(dateFormat2.format(myDate)); Output 09/02/2016
