title: Formatting Date from Date Object with only MM/DD/YYYY
body: <p>Currently using Parse to obtain a date on an object by using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Date date = object.getCreatedAt();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The returned String when displaying it in a TextView is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Mon Mar 17 22:39:27 CET 2014
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I really only want the MM/DD/YYYY to display like so: <strong>3/17/2014</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've tried this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Date date = object.getCreatedAt();
  SimpleDateFormat originalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM DDD yyyy"); 
  try {
      Date originaldate = originalFormat.parse(date.toString());
      finalDate = originaldate.toString();
  } catch (java.text.ParseException e1) {
      e1.printStackTrace();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but keep getting a ParseException for "Unparseable date", any idea what's going on? If I were to simply change this line back to this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat originalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM DDD HH:mm:ss z yyyy"); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then it prints out the full date again just fine with no parse exception, including all the date stuff I don't want.</p>
