Answer 1

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

Answer 2

This gives the time and date of your android system so first check it.

Answer 3

Try to use:

Date dt = new Date(); 
dt.getYear(); 
dt.getMonth(); 
dt.getDay();

and see if you get the same result. If so, your system date is probably out of sync. Check the Date class documentation for more details:
