You can get the year by using the get() method of calendar :

Date date = null;
DateFormat myDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
try {
  date = myDate.parse("2003-08-20");
} catch (ParseException e) {
}
System.out.println("Date = " + date);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date);
System.out.println("year = " + calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR));
