java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date Exception while converting timestamp value to time in java

I want to convert a Timestamp value which is passed as String to SimpleDateFormat Object into Time Value but it throws a Unparseable date exception.

The Value which i am passing is Thu Jan 1 17:45:00 UTC+0530 1970

Bur i am getting an Exception as mentioned below:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Thu Jan 1 17:45:00 UTC+0530 1970"

Please find the below code which i have implemented(Not Working):

static SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.US);
static SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.US);
static SimpleDateFormat outputFormatTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

public static String convertUtcDateStringToTime(String utcDateValue) throws Exception
    {
        Date parsedDate = dateFormat.parse(utcDateValue);
        String returnDate=outputFormatTime.format(inputFormat.parse(parsedDate.toString()));
        return returnDate;
    }

If i use the below code it works fine for me(Working) but its a depreciated function of Date which i want to avoid..

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public static String convertUtcDateStringToTime(String utcDateValue) throws Exception
{
    Date dateValue=new Date(utcDateValue);
    Date parsedDate = dateFormat.parse(dateValue.toString());
    String returnDate=outputFormatTime.format(inputFormat.parse(parsedDate.toString()));
    return returnDate;
}

Please Guide Me To implement the logic where i have missed. Thanks in advance.

First of all, your 2nd SimpleDateFormat object, is not needed at all. You are doing the extra work, which is not needed. So, remove this variable:

static SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.US);  // Not needed.

Secondly DateFormat#format(Date) methods takes a Date object. You are passing it a String. That wouldn't work. That is why you don't need the above object. There is no need to do a inputFormat.parse(parsedDate.toString()) again.

Now, the format to parse your current string should be:

"EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss 'UTC'z yyyy"

You need to give the UTC in quotes, before z. Or for more general case:

"EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zZ yyyy"

So, your code should be like:

static SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zZ yyyy", Locale.US);
static SimpleDateFormat outputFormatTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

public static String convertUtcDateStringToTime(String utcDateValue) throws Exception
    {
        Date parsedDate = dateFormat.parse(utcDateValue);
        String returnDate=outputFormatTime.format(inputFormat);
        return returnDate;
    }
