Answer 1

You can format the date like this :

int   day  = datePicker.getDayOfMonth();
int   month= datePicker.getMonth();
int   year = datePicker.getYear();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(year, month, day);

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
String formatedDate = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());

You can parse the String back to Date object by calling

Date date = sdf.parse(formatedDate);
