Try to use your code like this..

if salesReportItems is Date type object then..

String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
                    .format(salesReportItems);
tvDate.setText(timeStamp);

I suppose that this line

tvDate.setText(dateFormat.format(salesReportItems.getDate().toString()));

needs to be like this.

tvDate.setText(dateFormat.format(salesReportItems.getDate()));

TextView tvDate = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.entered_date);
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

Remove your third line , get the date as string,

String date=salesReportItems.getDate().toString();

use System.out.println(date); to date get displayed in Logcat;

from the observed date form string in pattern like this;

sring str="1990-08-27";

then use,

tvDate.setText(dateFormat.format(str));

instead of dateFormat.format use dateFormat.parse(str);

Create a method like below

private String formatDate(String dateString) {
        try {
            SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss" /* 10-Sep-2013 09:53:37*/);
            Date d = sd.parse(dateString);
            sd = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            return sd.format(d);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
        }
        return "";
    }

And then call it as

tvDate.setText(formatDate(salesReportItems.getDate().toString()));

try {
SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss");
Date d = sd.parse(salesReportItems.getDate().toString());
sd = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
TextView tvDate = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.entered_date);
tvDate.setText(sd.format(d));
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Issue sorted with above code.
