use this :

long int my_date = 20130706123020L

and after that :

String date_Text = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(new Date(my_date));

Use SimpleDateFormat

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss"); 
Date date = sdf.parse("20130706123020");
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); 

System.out.println(sdf2.format(date));

You have to first parse the String using the parse method from SimpleDateFormat.

Then pass the Date object returned by the parse method to another SimpleDateFormat and then using the format method get the date in the format you want.

String s = "201307061230202";

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmssSS"); // format in which you get the String
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); // format in which you want the date to be in
System.out.println(sdf1.format(sdf.parse(s)));

The significance of HH, hh, KK and kk in the hour field is different. I have used HH you can use the one according to your requirement.

H   Hour in day (0-23)
k   Hour in day (1-24)
K   Hour in am/pm (0-11)
h   Hour in am/pm (1-12)
