DatePicker shows wrong value of month

As described in the Android SDK, months are indexed starting at 0. This means August is month 8, or index 7, thus giving you the correct result.

It is a simple matter of adding 1 to the index returned by the API to get the traditional one-indexed month.

Although this behavior may seem strange, it is consistent with the java.util.Calendar class (although it is not consistent with joda.time.DateTime).
