Date format using kotlin
I would like to reformat a string from
14 Sep 2021 to 14 Sep using the SimpleDateFormat or any other APIs.
Currently my code looks like this:
private fun convertToDayAndMonth(date: String): String{
val dateFormat: Date = SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy").parse(date)!!
return SimpleDateFormat("d MMM").format(dateFormat)

but i am getting an error that says "14 Sep 2021" cannot be parsed
