Answer 1

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.TimeZone;
import android.widget.Toast;

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getDefault());

int currentYear = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int currentMonth = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
int currentDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

Toast.makeText(this,"Today's Date: " + currentYear + currentMonth + currentDay, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

"TimeZone" will work great if your application targets for Android API 27 platform or above
