A simple way to do this might be to simply collect the data and then use String.format:

    int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

    String dateString = String.format("%02d-%02d-%d", month, day, year);
    ((TextView) m_view.findViewById(R.id.dob)).setText(dateString);
