I think this will work

String date = "2011-05-01"; 
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(df.parse(date));
c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);  // how many days you want to add like here 1
String addeddate = df.format(c.getTime());

DateFormat for parsing and formatting. Example
Calendar.roll(...) for date arithmetic. Example

NOTE: Do not forget setLenient(true). Example

Why is `setLenient(true)` so important in this case? – Jesper Jan 24 '11 at 09:44
@Jesper this is important when you are rolling dates – Aravind Yarram Jan 24 '11 at 14:26
