Us time format-date conversion in complex formats uses the date. parse ("complex format") method.

Use this method

    long time = Date.parse("Sun Feb 26 10:31:58 +0800 2012");    SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");    Date d = new Date(time);    System.out.println(sdf.format(d));

Dateformat df = dateformat. getdatetimeinstance (dateformat. Full, dateformat. Full, locale. China );

Simpledateformat SDF = new simpledateformat ("eee Mmm dd hh: mm: SS Zzzzz YYYY", locale. US );
