Use the SimpleDateFormat class : 

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");

String dateInString = "7-Jun-2013";

try {

    Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
    System.out.println(date);
    System.out.println(formatter.format(date));

} catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
}

Output :

Fri Jun 07 00:00:00 MYT 2013
07-Jun-2013

    I solve it SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH); formatter.parse("Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 PKT 2015"); – Atif Shahzad Feb 03 '16 at 14:50
