You can also use substring    String date s    2011-01-18 00 00 00 0   date s substring 0 10     If you want a space in front of the date  use  String date s     2011-01-18 00 00 00 0   date s substring 1 11

Other answers are correct  basically you had the wrong number of  y  characters in your pattern   Time Zone  One more problem though    You did not address time zones  If you intended UTC  then you should have said so  If not  the answers are not complete  If all you want is the date portion without the time  then no issue  But if you do further work that may involve time  then you should be specifying a time zone   Joda-Time  Here is the same kind of code but using the third-party open-source Joda-Time 2 3 library        2013 Basil Bourque  This source code may be used freely forever by anyone taking full responsibility for doing so   String date s    2011-01-18 00 00 00 0    org joda time format DateTimeFormatter formatter   org joda time format DateTimeFormat forPattern   yyyy-MM-dd   HH mm ss SSS        By the way  if your date-time string conformed strictly to ISO 8601 including a  T  rather than a SPACE      you could    use a formatter built into Joda-Time rather than specify your own  ISODateTimeFormat dateHourMinuteSecondFraction       Like this    org joda time DateTime dateTimeInUTC   org joda time format ISODateTimeFormat dateHourMinuteSecondFraction   withZoneUTC   parseDateTime  date s        Assuming the date-time string was meant to be in UTC  no time zone offset   org joda time DateTime dateTimeInUTC   formatter withZoneUTC   parseDateTime  date s    System out println   dateTimeInUTC      dateTimeInUTC    System out println   dateTimeInUTC  date only       org joda time format ISODateTimeFormat date   print  dateTimeInUTC      System out println           blank line      Assuming the date-time string was meant to be in Kolkata time zone  formerly known as Calcutta   Offset is  5 30 from UTC  note the half-hour   org joda time DateTimeZone kolkataTimeZone   org joda time DateTimeZone forID   Asia Kolkata     org joda time DateTime dateTimeInKolkata   formatter withZone  kolkataTimeZone   parseDateTime  date s    System out println   dateTimeInKolkata      dateTimeInKolkata    System out println   dateTimeInKolkata  date only       org joda time format ISODateTimeFormat date   print  dateTimeInKolkata         This date-time in Kolkata is a different point in the time line of the Universe than the dateTimeInUTC instance created above  The date is even different  System out println   dateTimeInKolkata adjusted to UTC      dateTimeInKolkata toDateTime  org joda time DateTimeZone UTC        When run     dateTimeInUTC  2011-01-18T00 00 00 000Z dateTimeInUTC  date only   2011-01-18  dateTimeInKolkata  2011-01-18T00 00 00 000 05 30 dateTimeInKolkata  date only   2011-01-18 dateTimeInKolkata adjusted to UTC  2011-01-17T18 30 00 000Z

Say you want to change 2019-12-20 10 50 AM GMT 6 00 to 2019-12-20 10 50 AM  first of all you have to understand the date format first one date format is  yyyy-MM-dd hh mm a zzz and second one date format will be yyyy-MM-dd hh mm a   just return a string from this function like    public String convertToOnlyDate String currentDate        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat   new SimpleDateFormat  yyyy-MM-dd hh mm a         Date date      String dateString           try           date   dateFormat parse currentDate           System out println date toString               dateString   dateFormat format date         catch  ParseException e            e printStackTrace              return dateString      This function will return your desire answer  If you want to customize more just add or remove component from the date format

The answer is of course to create a SimpleDateFormat object and use it to parse Strings to Date and to format Dates to Strings   If you ve tried SimpleDateFormat and it didn t work  then please show your code and any errors you may receive   Addendum    mm  in the format String is not the same as  MM    Use MM for months and mm for minutes  Also  yyyyy is not the same as yyyy   e g     import java text ParseException  import java text SimpleDateFormat  import java util Date   public class FormateDate        public static void main String   args  throws ParseException           String date s    2011-01-18 00 00 00 0                   note that it s  yyyy-MM-dd hh mm ss  not  yyyy-mm-dd hh mm ss            SimpleDateFormat dt   new SimpleDateFormat  yyyy-MM-dd hh mm ss            Date date   dt parse date s                   same for the format String below         SimpleDateFormat dt1   new SimpleDateFormat  yyyy-MM-dd            System out println dt1 format date

Use LocalDateTime parse    or ZonedDateTime parse   if the string happens to contain a time zone part  to parse a String in a certain pattern into a LocalDateTime   String oldstring    2011-01-18 00 00 00 0   LocalDateTime datetime   LocalDateTime parse oldstring  DateTimeFormatter ofPattern  yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss S       Use LocalDateTime format    or ZonedDateTime format    to format a LocalDateTime into a String in a certain pattern   String newstring   datetime format DateTimeFormatter ofPattern  yyyy-MM-dd     System out println newstring      2011-01-18   Or  when you re not on Java 8 yet  use SimpleDateFormat parse   to parse a String in a certain pattern into a Date   String oldstring    2011-01-18 00 00 00 0   Date date   new SimpleDateFormat  yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss S   parse oldstring     Use SimpleDateFormat format   to format a Date into a String in a certain pattern   String newstring   new SimpleDateFormat  yyyy-MM-dd   format date   System out println newstring      2011-01-18   See also    Java string to date conversion     Update  as per your failed attempt  the patterns are case sensitive  Read the java text SimpleDateFormat javadoc what the individual parts stands for  So stands for example M for months and m for minutes  Also  years exist of four digits yyyy  not five yyyyy  Look closer at the code snippets I posted here above

You could try Java 8 new date  more information can be found on the Oracle documentation       Or you can try the old one   public static Date getDateFromString String format  String dateStr         DateFormat formatter   new SimpleDateFormat format       Date date   null      try           date    Date  formatter parse dateStr         catch  ParseException e            e printStackTrace               return date     public static String getDate Date date  String dateFormat        DateFormat formatter   new SimpleDateFormat dateFormat       return formatter format date
