public static void main(String[] args) {
    String dateString = "/Date(1370257470183+0530)/";

    String longString = dateString.substring(6, dateString.indexOf('+'));
    String gmtString = dateString.substring(dateString.indexOf('+'), dateString.indexOf(')'));

    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(gmtString));
    Date date = new Date(Long.parseLong(longString));
    System.out.println(format.format(date));

}

Extract number value by getting substring
Extract GMT string
Create a SimpleDateFormat
Format the timezone with the GMT string
Create a Date object from the first string
Pass the date to the formatter (return String)
Do something with that returned String

Here is what I coded. But before that you have to extract the timezone and the millisecond time so that you can create the Object. I think that you can do just doing some string operations upon the string.

Date date = new Date(1370257470183l); // here is your time
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+0530"));   // here is your timezone
String formattedDate = formatter.format(date);
System.out.println(formattedDate);

You may use java.util.Date class and then use SimpleDateFormat to format the Date.

Date date=new Date(millis);

Reference: How to convert currentTimeMillis to a date in Java?

The input represents time in milliseconds from epoch ( Jan 1, 1970 GMT) by the way your input represents a date of 3rd June 2013

First you will have to search the String for the numeric values, link here: Search a String for Numerics

Then you want to turn the numeric value into a date. For that use SimpleDateFormat" link here:Oracle SimpleDateFormat
