Convert date format in below format

Question

Hi i have a date varilable here date is in following formate:

Fri Nov 06 23:59:59 IST 2015

Now i want to convert thi date in below format

2015-11-06 23:59:59

I am using this but not working:

 SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat(fromDate);
                Date currentdate;
                currentdate=sdf.parse(fromDate);
                System.out.println("TestDATE"+currentdate);

How can I convert?

_In which way_ is it not working? Please specify and also add input and output you get. Btw, you should pass a format string to the `SimpleDateFormat` constructor, not the date itself. — Thomas, Nov 12 '15 at 08:13
Is the input a date or a string? A date type has no format. Plase show a minimal runable example — Jens, Nov 12 '15 at 08:15

Have you read SimpleDateFormat?

Your fromPattern needs to be: EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy and toPattern - yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.

Date is a container for the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch ( 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970).

It has no concept of format.
