}catch (Exception e){


Toast.makeText(TabFragment2.context, "error : " +e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}

but am not succeeding, anyone can correct me ? it'll so helpful for me

Answer 1

Use format instead of parse to format the date returned from the first date format operation

String dateString = format.format(pasta);
