How to convert date from yyyy/MM/dd
to dd/MM/YYY
the function below gives an error
fun convertTime(date: String): String {
val sdf = SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy", Locale("pt", "BR"))
sdf.isLenient = false
val d: Date = sdf.parse(date)!!
return sdf.format(d)
}
Error:

Parse your input to a ZonedDateTime
and then apply a DateTimeFormatter
to format it as you wish:
fun convertTime(date: String): String {
val zonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.parse(date)
val dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy", Locale("pt", "BR"))
return dtf.format(zonedDateTime)
}
Avoid using Java Date
and consider using the new Java Date API (https://www.baeldung.com/java-8-date-time-intro).
