HI,

I will explain you the code to convert string date in format yyyy-mm-dd hh mm ss to date object. We need to define the string date format as shown below:

String pattern = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss";

Then create the object of SimpleDateFormat using above defined pattern:

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);

Finally parse date object with following code: date = simpleDateFormat.parse(dt);

Here is full example code of the program:

package net.roseindia;

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

/*
 * Convert String from yyyy-mm-dd hh mm ss
 * to date object in Java
 */
public class StringToDateConversion {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String dt = "2017-05-08 10:05:55";
        String pattern = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss";
        SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
        Date date = null;
        try {
            date = simpleDateFormat.parse(dt);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("Date:" + date);

    }

}

Thanks
