I have a very straight forward solution to this. Its a start but it will do the trick. Modify how you wish

        public string changeToDate(string input)
        {
            string day = "";
            string month = "";
            string year = "";
 
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
                year += input[i];
            month = input[5].ToString() + input[6].ToString() + "/";
            day = input[8].ToString() + input[9].ToString() + "/";
 
            return (month + day + year);
        }

in java, you can use the class SimpleDateFormat which can help us to format String to Date.
