I reproduce your scenario and I was able to cast a String to Timestamp using this:

 try {
        String input = "10-02-2019"; //For example 10-02-2019
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy");
        Date parsedDate = dateFormat.parse(input);
        java.sql.Timestamp timestamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(parsedDate.getTime());
        System.out.println("timestamp: " + timestamp);
    } catch (ParseException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(JavaApplication2.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

If your EditText has a specified input like day/month/year, you can parse your string into a date format and create a new Timestamp from that.

e.g.

String input = editText.getText().toString() //For example 10-02-2019

//Parse your String into the format and return the time in long by 'getTime()'
Timestamp tp = new Timestamp(new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse(input).getTime());

Now you should be able to save this Timestamp (tp) in your firestore db.
