You can use SimpleDateFormat for it:

String dateString = "Nov 12 2014 10:28AM";
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss aa");  //change this format as per your need
Date myDate = new Date();
try {
    myDate = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Hope it helps.

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Nov 12 2014 10:47AM" (at offset 6) – vish Nov 12 '14 at 05:18
That's probably issue in dateString. you can try with `String dateString = "Nov 12, 2014 10:28AM";` if Naveen's answer doesn't work @user3256678 – MysticMagicϡ Nov 12 '14 at 05:21

   String string = "Nov 12 2014 10:28AM";
    Date date = null;
    try {
        date = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM d yyyy hh:mmaa", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(string);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.out.println(date); // Wed Nov 12 10:28:00 IST 2014

Here is how you can do :

 public static final String DATE_TIME_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
 // you can use the format type you want

 public static Date stringDateToDate(String StrDate) {
    Date dateToReturn = null;
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_TIME_FORMAT);

    try {
        dateToReturn = (Date) dateFormat.parse(StrDate);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return dateToReturn;
}

Hope it helps :)
