Java : String to Date conversion Getting Unparseable Exception

Question

I am getting date in String as 09/16/2012 15:57. How do i convert it in java.util.Date

I have tried :

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy HH.mm.ss.SSS a");
dateFormat.parse(res.getString("stringdate"));

But getting unparseable exception

Plz suggest.

You date time pattern is not correct. Try to match the input string

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

You date time pattern is not correct.Many of the datetime format is there
 Try to match correct input string

Example
String dateStr = "2011-09-19T15:57:11Z";
String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'";
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern).parse(dateStr);

Patterns are

"yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss z" 2001.07.04 AD at 12:08:56 PDT

"EEE, MMM d, ''yy" Wed, Jul 4, '01

"h:mm a" 12:08 PM

"hh 'o''clock' a, zzzz" 12 o'clock PM, Pacific Daylight Time

"K:mm a, z" 0:08 PM, PDT

"yyyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa" 02001.July.04 AD 12:08 PM

"EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z" Wed, 4 Jul 2001 12:08:56 -0700

"yyMMddHHmmssZ" 010704120856-0700

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ" 2001-07-04T12:08:56.235-0700

Your date pattern does not match the given date string. Try the following:

    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm");
    dateFormat.parse(res.getString("stringdate"));
