How about just looking for the first space and then stripping everything
after that.  e.g.

String date = someFunction();
if (date.indexOf(' ') != -1) {
    date = date.substring(0, date.indexOf(' '));
}

Of course, it would be 'cleaner' if you could modify the behaviour of
someFunction() instead of resorting to the above hack, but I am assuming
that is not possible to modify someFunction()?
