Use this https://github.com/amirmehdizadeh/JalaliCalendar to get the Jalali date

first get the year, month and day from your date like

String date = "2016-08-01 19:55:16";

String[] parts = date.split(" ");
String datePart = parts[0];
String timePart = parts[1];

int year;
int month;
int day;

String[] dateParts = datePart.split("-");
year = Integer.parseInt( dateParts[0]);
month = Integer.parseInt( dateParts[1]);
day = Integer.parseInt( dateParts[2]);

then create the Object to pass to that library

JalaliCalendar.YearMonthDate  georgianDate = new JalaliCalendar.YearMonthDate(year,month,day);

and then call its method that convert from Georgian date to Jalali Date

 JalaliCalendar.YearMonthDate JalaliDate = JalaliCalendar.gregorianToJalali(georgianDate);

And Finally append the date with time to show in text view

String jalaliDateTime =  JalaliDate.toString() + " " + timePart;
textView.setText(jalaliDateTime);
