SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

its not working, can you tell me Dateformat string to add in SimpleDateFormat ?

Here is My code

 try {
      SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
      sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
      long time = sdf.parse(device_for_bottomviews.get(i).lastupdate).getTime();
      PrettyTime prettyTime = new PrettyTime(Locale.getDefault());
      String ago = prettyTime.format(new Date(time));
      lastupdate.setText(ago);
      } 
catch (Exception e)
{
      e.printStackTrace();
      lastupdate.setText(device_for_bottomviews.get(i).lastupdate);
}

exception i am getting

Don't post your code in the comments, edit your original post. — Zun, Oct 05 '18 at 08:20
You get the excpetion in `Date.parse` not in SimpleDateFormat?! Please add a [mcve] — Jens, Oct 05 '18 at 08:21
The classes `java.util.Date` and `java.util.Calendar` are both outdated after the appearance of the `java.time` package in Java 8. Use those classes. Additionally, the constructor `Date(String)` and the factory method `Date.parse(String)` are both deprecated. And why are you setting up a `SimpleDateFormat` if you are not using it? — Seelenvirtuose, Oct 05 '18 at 08:24
Seems to me like you want `"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"` (note the lack of single quotes around the `Z`). — Michael, Oct 05 '18 at 08:25

I think it could be helpful. — Ole V.V., Oct 05 '18 at 08:53
As an aside consider throwing away the long outmoded and notoriously troublesome `SimpleDateFormat` and friends, and adding [ThreeTenABP](https://github.com/JakeWharton/ThreeTenABP) to your Android project in order to use `java.time`, the modern Java date and time API. It is so much nicer to work with. — Ole V.V., Oct 05 '18 at 08:54

You can use this format as pattern

yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSX

`X` is for ISO 8601 time zones. The example in the question appears to contain an RFC 822 time zone, for which you'd use `Z`. – Michael Oct 05 '18 at 08:29
@Michael The example in the question is pure ISO 8601. – Ole V.V. Oct 05 '18 at 19:30

You don't need to quote the 'zone' part of the date format string, here is a corrected version:

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"
