Date formatting based on user locale on android

by

You can use the DateFormat class that formats a date according to the user locale.

Example:

String dateOfBirth = "26/02/1974";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date date = null;
try {
    date = sdf.parse(dateOfBirth);
} catch (ParseException e) {
    // handle exception here !
}
java.text.DateFormat dateFormat = android.text.format.DateFormat.getDateFormat(context);
String s = dateFormat.format(date);

You can use the different methods getLongDateFormat, getMediumDateFormat depending on the level of verbosity you would like to have.
