Writing some code is a good start in most cases. – Turing85 Jan 20 '20 at 12:43 — Turing85, Jan 20 '20 at 12:43
I guess "14:59" is a typo? – Federico klez Culloca Jan 20 '20 at 12:44 — Federico klez Culloca, Jan 20 '20 at 12:44

This code snippet may help:

    String str = "201204121458";

    DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyyMMddHHmm");
    LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, formatter);

    DateTimeFormatter printer = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm");
    String formattedDateTime = dateTime.format(printer); // "2012/04/12 14:59"

These terrible date-time classes were supplanted years ago by the modern *java.time* classes defined in JSR 310. Suggesting their use in 2020 is poor advice. – Basil Bourque Jan 20 '20 at 16:47
Don't think that it's really important if we speak about converting one date string to another date string. But generally you are right. The code snippet is adjusted. – Lyashko Kirill Jan 20 '20 at 19:08
