DateTime from PHP to Java (Android): how to convert a string to a DateTime object?

In PHP to convert a string to DateTime() its very very easy:

$dateTime = new DateTime("2013-12-11 10:109:08");
echo $dateTime->format("d/m/Y"); // output 11/12/2013

What is the equivalent in Java? I've seen a lot of questions in stackoverflow. I cant find a way to solve this problem.

My last try is:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm", Locale.ITALIAN);
return dateFormat.format(new Date(datetime)).toString();

This crash application. Android Studio tells me that Date(java.lang.String) is deprecated.

Can someone help me?

Parse it like that:

SimpleDateFormat formatter = 
            new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy", Locale.GERMANY);

        Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
        try {
            date.setTime(formatter.parse("12.12.2010"));
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Have a look at my Android date picker example here.

// First convert the String to a Date
String dateTime = "2013-11-12 13:14:15";
SimpleDateFormat dateParser = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",Locale.ITALIAN);
Date date = dateParser.parse(dateTime);
// Then convert the Date to a String, formatted as you dd/MM/yyyy
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
System.out.println(dateFormatter.format(date));

You can let the parser / formatter take the timezone into account by using SimpleDateFromat.setTimeZone() if you have to deal with TimeZones that are not in your default locale.

Yes As of JDK version 1.1, Date(java.lang.String) is deprecated and replaced by DateFormat.parse(String s).

try this 

 String time1="";
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS",Locale.US);
                             GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Central"));
                             calendar.setTimeInMillis(yourmilliseconds);
                                 time1=sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
