Issue in SimpleDateFormat in android

I have the code to change time format

String date = "13/08/13 05.57 PM";

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yy hh.mm a");
Date testDate = null;
  try {
       testDate = sdf.parse(date);
      }catch(Exception ex){
       ex.printStackTrace();
      }
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
String newFormat = formatter.format(testDate);
System.out.println(".....Date..."+newFormat);

I got the output as 

 .....Date...13-57-2013 05:57:00 PM

instead of 13-08-2013 05:57:00 PM. Please help me to solve this issue.

Problem with mm that should be use for minutes. For months you should use MM. Read more about Date and Time Patterns in Java

Use below code

String date = "13/08/13 05.57 PM";

        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy hh.mm a");
        Date testDate = null;
          try {
               testDate = sdf.parse(date);
              }catch(Exception ex){
               ex.printStackTrace();
              }
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
        String newFormat = formatter.format(testDate);
        System.out.println(".....Date..."+newFormat);

Use 'MM' instead of 'mm' where month is expected. Take a look at Date and Time Formats for the explanation of the different format characters.
