How to Convert String of DateTime to Date and 24 hour formate Time in android?

I have a string holding a Date and time I want to be able to strip out the AM - and the PM and convert all the times to 24 hour format so 9:30PM would really be 21:30 .

Im having this code which im trying to convert into specific formate but cant get the proper result 

  String DateTime="14/03/2012 12:32:38 PM";

   format=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
            try {
                date=format1.parse(TransactionDate);
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

 After that im trying to convert date in yyyy-MM-dd and time in 24 Hour format but im not getting proper result.

     format=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

            TransDateTime=format1.format(date);

im getting result is 2012-03-14 12:32:38 PM but i want time in 24 hour formate date is correct but time not in 24 hour format .

Sorry this is commom question but i try all the solutions and result is same can any buddy tell me whats the problem .

Please use following code, it will solve your problem,

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Make a String that has a date in it, with MEDIUM date format
    // and SHORT time format.
    String dateString = "Nov 4, 2003 8:14 PM";

    // Get the default MEDIUM/SHORT DateFormat
    DateFormat format =
        DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(
        DateFormat.MEDIUM, DateFormat.SHORT);

    // Parse the date
    try {
        Date date = format.parse(dateString);
        System.out.println("Original string: " + dateString);
        System.out.println("Parsed date    : " +
             date.toString());
    }
    catch(ParseException pe) {
        System.out.println("ERROR: could not parse date in string \"" +
            dateString + "\"");
    }
}
