Answer 1

Your answer should look something like this:

String dateTimePattern = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm a";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(dateTimePattern );
LocalDateTime yourDay= LocalDateTime.of(2020, 4, 6, 17, 00);
System.out.println(formatter.format(ZonedDateTime.of(yourDay, ZoneId.of("UTC-5"))));

Please look this up for more info on the available formats.

Answer 2

Date yourDate = new Date();  
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy h:m a");  
String formatedDate= sdf.format(yourDate);
