How can I get current date in Android?

by

You can use the SimpleDateFormat class for formatting date in your desired format.

Just check this link where you get an idea for your example.

For example:

String dateStr = "04/05/2010"; 
 
SimpleDateFormat curFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); 
Date dateObj = curFormater.parse(dateStr); 
SimpleDateFormat postFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy"); 
 
String newDateStr = postFormater.format(dateObj);

Update:

The detailed example is here, I would suggest you go through this example and understand the concept of SimpleDateFormat class.

Final Solution:

Date c = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
System.out.println("Current time => " + c);

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy", Locale.getDefault());
String formattedDate = df.format(c);
