I have a string with dates it looks like: "20120316 20120317 20120318" ... I store this dates in this format, but I would like to make a Date array from these numbers with the format 03/16 03/17 03/18 ...

So far:

 String[] DailyDatasOnce2 = DatesOnce.split(" ");   

         DailyDatasOnce = new String[DailyDatasOnce2.length];
         for (int i=0;i< (DailyDatasOnce2.length) ;i++){
             DailyDatasOnce[i]=DailyDatasOnce2[i];
         }

         datumok = new Date[DailyDatasOnce.length];

         for (int i=0;i< (DailyDatasOnce.length) ;i++){

            SimpleDateFormat curFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd"); 

            java.util.Date dateObj = null;
            java.util.Date dateObj2 = null;
            try {
                dateObj = curFormater.parse(DailyDatasOnce[i]);
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } 
            SimpleDateFormat postFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd"); 

            String newDateStr = postFormater.format(dateObj); 

            try {
                dateObj2 = curFormater.parse(newDateStr);
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } 
            datumok[i] = dateObj2;

         }

So first I make a string array with the string dates (DailyDatasOnce), maybe that first for loop is useless but i can skip it. Now I make a Date array and I want to put the dates into it. I format the dates to format I want, then I try to convert them to Date format. Until the String newDateStr it is working, I manage to change the type of the date. But I get syntax error: Type mismatch: Cannot convert from java.util.date to java.sql.data. I suspect the problem but if it is not possible, how can i do this?
