format(StringValue)!? Shouldn't you parse it first?

Have a look in to the below code

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

import java.util.Date;

public class DateFormatTest

{

public static void main( String[] cmdArgs )

throws Exception

{

SimpleDateFormat sdfInput =

new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd" );

SimpleDateFormat sdfOutput =

new SimpleDateFormat ( "EEE, d MMM yyyy hh:mm aaa" ); //Change the patterns in to what ever u need

String textDate = "2001-01-04";

Date date = sdfInput.parse( textDate );

System.out.println( sdfOutput.format( date ) );

}

}

i will suggest u to look in to the API doc you will come to know lot many things.
