now the codes looks ok, so what the stratingdate is after converting? — Xcihnegn, Jun 03 '15 at 20:04
@Xcihnegn 03-06-2015 12:00:00 its wrong, it should be 02-06-2015 18:30:00 — Madhu, Jun 04 '15 at 05:44

In Simple date Formate, it accepted format like 03/04/2015 00:00:00 ,it is successfully run..

String str_date = "03/06/2015 00:00:00";
    SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss");
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Date date;
try {
    date = df.parse(str_date);
    stratingdate = df.format(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

LogUtil.d("starting date" + stratingdate);
