Please include code and output as content for your question, not as pictures or external links. — Dragonthoughts, Sep 10 '18 at 07:49
I think the time should be the only number not like `Date(...)` — Faysal Ahmed, Sep 10 '18 at 08:06
Please paste your JSON snapshot (or what your input is) as text in the question rather than linking to an image. Thx. — Ole V.V., Sep 11 '18 at 10:18

If you ask a solution

String date = "/Date(1536566908220)/";
String milli = date.replaceAll("[^0-9]", "");
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(milli)) {
    long time = Long.parseLong(milli);
    SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-M-yyyy hh:mm:ss");
    String formattedDate = df.format(time);
    System.out.println(formattedDate); // 13-4-2015 10:59:26
}

If you ask a suggestion.

This is not a good format to receive date "/Date(778844555)/".

either make it totally millisecond like 1536566913832 from backend.
or make it a string date format only like 13-4-2015 10:59:26

Nice to provide a suggestion for a better format. However for the vast majority of purposes the best format is [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601), for example `2015-04-13T10:59:26Z` or in case of a date only just `2018-09-09`. – Ole V.V. Sep 11 '18 at 10:20
