  <p>I get the date in a String as: 5/1/12.
  I need to convert it to 05/01/2012.
  Please suggest.</p>
  
  <p>I used the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
  
  d_date = dateFormat.parse("5/1/12"); 
  
  strDate = dateFormat.format(d_date);
  
  Result:
  05/01/0012
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Expected Result:
  05/01/2012</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
  Prasad</p>
