Here is working code

public String parseDateToddMMyyyy(String time) {     String inputPattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";     String outputPattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy h:mm a";     SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(inputPattern);     SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(outputPattern);      Date date = null;     String str = null;      try {         date = inputFormat.parse(time);         str = outputFormat.format(date);     } catch (ParseException e) {         e.printStackTrace();     }     return str; }
