    String v_date_str = dt + " " + tm;
    //  String setDate =sdf.format(dt + " " + tm);
    Date v_date = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(v_date_str );

The problem is you have a DateFormat pattern mismatch.

Since v_date_str is 2013-03-02 21:54, you can match its format using:

new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm", Locale.ENGLISH)
