Take a look at the Date and Time Patterns on https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html — , Mar 27 '18 at 12:51
Also take a look at the Date and Time API https://dzone.com/articles/deeper-look-java-8-date-and — NotZack, Mar 27 '18 at 12:53
You can choose other date format instead convert given time to other time format. Here u have examples of other time formats. Try this: [SimpleDateFormat](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html) — , Mar 27 '18 at 12:53
FYI, the troublesome old date-time classes such as [`java.util.Date`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/util/Date.html), [`java.util.Calendar`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html), and `java.text.SimpleDateFormat` are now [legacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_system), supplanted by the [*java.time*](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/time/package-summary.html) classes built into Java 8 & Java 9. See [*Tutorial* by Oracle](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/datetime/TOC.html). — Basil Bourque, Mar 27 '18 at 20:25

If you have Java 8, use the java.time API:

DateTimeFormatter parser = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
                .append(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME)
                .appendPattern("XX")
                .toFormatter();
OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse("2108-03-27T17:18:16.985+0530", parser);

DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM dd,yyyy h:mm a", Locale.ENGLISH);
String formattedDate = fmt.format(odt); // Mar 27,2108 5:18 PM

SimpleDateFormat has lots of problems, many of them solved by java.time API, and you should prefer to use those.

For older versions of Java, there's a nice backport, with the same classes and functionality.

You can convert type any-to-any of date format.

You just need to pass String format to SimpleDateFormate.

Use this method as static and call it from anywhere by passing inputDate

Simplified Date convert method:

public static String getFormattedDate(String inputDate)
{
    String outputFormattedDate = "";
    try
    {
        SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z");
        Date inputFormatDate = inputFormat.parse(inputDate);

        SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy h:mm a");
        outputFormattedDate = outputFormat.format(inputFormatDate);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        outputFormattedDate = inputDate;
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

    return outputFormattedDate;
}

Hope it will help you.
