java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "04-02-2019"

Question

First of all , i know there are lots of questions regarding my same problem.But that was not enough to solve my problem.So if anyone can provide anything then it would be great. In my term the date comes as string format first and after that i need to convert it into date.But i was not able to do that.

I want the format as the format string has .Like as date should be as like as 04-02-2019.

Here is my java code:

    Date date=null;
    DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
    try {
        date=dateFormat.parse(paymentDate);
        Log.v("Date:",""+date);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Note : paymentDate="04-02-2019" Exception:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "04-02-2019"
at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:362)

Try with: SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"); — David Pérez Cabrera

@SakhawatHossain commonly to change a date format from 04-02-2019 to 04 Feb 2019 then you need to read in the date and then reformat it. It cannot read it in and reformat at the same time. — Dom

As an aside consider throwing away the long outmoded and notoriously troublesome SimpleDateFormat and friends, and adding ThreeTenABP to your Android project in order to use java.time, the modern Java date and time API. It is so much nicer to work with. — Anonymous

Format dd-MMM-yyyy means date in format 04 Feb 2019 // 25 Mar 1993 etc.

Replace it with dd-MM-yyyy

Please have a look once again at your complied files. It should work.

Here is the code running as online snippet:

Still not the format i want.Your format gave me this (Thu Feb 07 00:00:00 GMT+06:00 2019).May be there is something wrong that i am not able to catch up.
