title: How to convert JSON date to string in Kotlin within my recyclerview adapter?
body: <p>The <a href="https://api.nasa.gov/mars-photos/api/v1/rovers/curiosity/photos?sol=1000&amp;camera=fhaz&amp;api_key=DEMO_KEY" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JSON data</a> I am returning is a string in numbered format (YYYY-MM-DD) and I am wanting my app to display this as ex.(January 1, 2020) depending on which JSON date I query.</p>
  <p>Given the date formatting options in java and kotlin are based off integers, I am unsure of the most efficient way to convert the numbered string to a character string when queried.  I do not want a function with 50 lines converting the strings.  Is there a more efficient way to do this?</p>
