I have a string something like date month year(31 08 2012) . I want to convert it to date format.

String string = "31082012";
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("DDMMYYYY").parse(string);
System.out.println(date);

Firstly, Your format is wrong, it should be ddMMyyyy

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy").parse(string);
