Convert string to Date in java
<p>I'm trying to parse a string to a date field in an android application but I can't seem to get it correct. Here is the string I'm trying to convert to a date "03/26/2012 11:49:00 AM". The function I'm using is:</p>

<pre><code>private Date ConvertToDate(String dateString){
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss aa");
    Date convertedDate = new Date();
    try {
        convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return convertedDate;
}
</code></pre>

<p>But I keep getting 3/1/112 11:49AM as the result.. Any help I would really appreciate. thanks</p>
