DateFormat by using SimpleDateFormat .Then parse the string with
this date format. We are creating an object of Date to store the parsed formatted
string.

and java.util.Date package to convert string into date format.We
initialize a string .We are creating format type "hh:mm:ss".

DateFormat dateformat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
try
{
Date date = dateformat.parse(time);
System.out.println("The date and Time: " + date);
