Once you have you date parsed  I use this utility function to add hours  minutes or seconds   public class DateTimeUtils       private static final long ONE HOUR IN MS   3600000      private static final long ONE MIN IN MS   60000      private static final long ONE SEC IN MS   1000       public static Date sumTimeToDate Date date  int hours  int mins  int secs            long hoursToAddInMs   hours   ONE HOUR IN MS          long minsToAddInMs   mins   ONE MIN IN MS          long secsToAddInMs   secs   ONE SEC IN MS          return new Date date getTime     hoursToAddInMs   minsToAddInMs   secsToAddInMs             Be careful when adding long periods of time  1 day is not always 24 hours  daylight savings-type adjustments  leap seconds and so on   Calendar is recommended for that

The issue for you is that you are using mm  You should use MM  MM is for month and mm is for minutes  Try with yyyy-MM-dd HH mm  Other approach    It can be as simple as this  other option is to use joda-time    static final long ONE MINUTE IN MILLIS 60000   millisecs  Calendar date   Calendar getInstance    long t  date getTimeInMillis    Date afterAddingTenMins new Date t    10   ONE MINUTE IN MILLIS
