Here is working code

public String parseDateToddMMyyyy(String time) {
    String inputPattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
    String outputPattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy h:mm a";
    SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(inputPattern);
    SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(outputPattern);

    Date date = null;
    String str = null;

    try {
        date = inputFormat.parse(time);
        str = outputFormat.format(date);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return str;
}
