Answer 1

    try{
    String inputTime = "2016-12-26 19:26:36.915";
    String date_format = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.sss";
    DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(date_format);

    //You will get a date object below from String you provide
    Date date = dateFormat.parse(inputTime);
    }catch(ParseException exception){
        System.out.println(exception.toString());
    }
