getting wrong value after converting a string into date

[aman thind]

Here is my code:
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
dateFormat.setLenient(true);
Date convertedDate=null;
convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(2008-08-25);

Date and year are coming correct but month is always showing Jan

Little help here please

I think you mean months and not minutes

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