How do I convert String date to Date format date in dd-MM-yyyy format in java

I have date in string format as Wed Jun 07 00:00:00 IST 2023 but I want it as in dd-mm-yyyy format in DATE type only… I can convert it but it is converting in String type I want it should convert it into ONLY Date type in dd-mm-yyyy format.

I tried below code but it is converting in String format as Wed Jun 07 00:00:00 IST 2023 but I want output should be something like

Date date = 07-06-2023 only.

Please help me.

My code snippet is:

public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
String dateOfBirht= "07-06-2023";
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse(dateOfBirht);
System.out.println(date);

If you see the output of the above code snippet is printing as Wed Jun 07 00:00:00 IST 2023 which is not my desired answer. It should be 07-06-2023 in DATE FORMAT ONLY neither String nor LocaleDate

>Solution :

"… I want it as in dd-mm-yyyy format in DATE type only. …"

I’m not sure I understand the question, entirely.  You already have the Date value, here.

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse(dateOfBirht);

"… If you see the output of the above code snippet is printing as Wed Jun 07 00:00:00 IST 2023 which is not my desired answer. It should be 07-06-2023 …"

I believe you’re implying that the Date object should not be returning the time, since you had only parsed the date values.

This isn’t the case.  Similarly, it is still a valid date; the zeroed time fields should play no role in the date fields.

Nevertheless, you can use a basic String format.
Format specifiers can be found on the Formatter class JavaDoc.

System.out.printf("%td-%1$tm-%1$tY", date);

Output

07-06-2023
