Android: Unparseable date at ofset 4

I am comparing the given date with the current date but it gives me an error of Unparseable date at ofset 4. The date is looks like this 2010-03-25. This is the line where the logcat pointing me towards strDate = sdf.parse(item.dateUpdated());

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd");
            Date strDate;
            try {
                strDate = sdf.parse(item.dateUpdated());



                if (System.currentTimeMillis() > strDate.getTime()) {

                    System.out.println("Date not matched");
                }
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

do it as folows

 SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
            Date strDate;
            try {
                strDate = sdf.parse("2010-03-25");



                if (System.currentTimeMillis() > strDate.getTime()) {

                    System.out.println("Date not matched");
                }
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

as yous SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd"); is having yyyy/mm/dd while you are passing as 2010-03-25

so use SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");

instead of SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd");

otherwisely it will say 

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2010-03-25"
    at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:357)
