Use Joda Time

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd/MM/yyyy");
DateTime dt = formatter.parseDateTime(string);

The issue here is that when printing you are invoking the default format for printing the date object which includes time. Check out this link for the various formatting options

Try using the same formatter when printing:

System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(date));

implicitely a Date object contains time too.
