change SimpleDateFormat to:

String time = "2012-12-08 13:39:57 +0000";
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z");
Date date = sdf.parse(time);
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String formatedTime = sdf.format(date);
System.out.println("Time: " + formatedTime);

You can use the SimpleDateFormat Class to do this! such:

DateFormat mydate1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date1 = mydate1.parse(time);

You need to first parse your date string (Use DateFormat#parse() method) to get the Date object using a format that matches the format of date string.

And then format that Date object (Use DateFormat#format() method) using the required format in SimpleDateFormat to get string.

String time = "2012-12-08 13:39:57 +0000";

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z").parse(time);
String str = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss").format(date);

System.out.println(str);

Output: -

08 Dec 2012 19:09:57

Z in the first format is for RFC 822 TimeZone to match +0000 in your date string. See SimpleDateFormat for various other options to be used in your date format.

Take a look at SimpleDateFormat. The code goes something like this:

SimpleDateFormat fromUser = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat myFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

String reformattedStr = myFormat.format(fromUser.parse(inputString));
