Answer 1

just use this code..

 date.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
        {

            public void onClick(View v) 
            {
                DatePickerDialog dateDlg = new DatePickerDialog(New_Quote_Activity.this, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() 
                {

                         public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year,int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) 
                         {
                                CharSequence strDate = null;
                                    Time chosenDate = new Time();        
                                    chosenDate.set(dayOfMonth, monthOfYear, year);
                                    long dtDob = chosenDate.toMillis(true);

                                    strDate = DateFormat.format("MM/dd/yyyy", dtDob);

                                    txtDate.setText(strDate);
                        }}, year,month,day);

Check this:

date format change in datepicker and calendar

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

    if(month < 10){

        month = "0" + month;
    }
    if(day < 10){

        day  = "0" + day ;
    }
    searchText.setText(day + "-" + month + "-" + year);

Answer 3

Try out this way:

private int m_month, m_year, m_day;
 SimpleDateFormat dateParser = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy",
            Locale.ENGLISH);
 m_month = m_calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
 m_year = m_calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
 m_day = m_calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
 //for the datepicker listener.
 m_calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, p_year);
 m_calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, p_monthOfYear);
 m_calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, p_dayOfMonth);
 String m_sDate = dateParser.format(m_calendar.getTime()).toString();

I tried following in my project. It might help you. Ask if you have any query.

try{
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
    Date originalDate = new Date();   //it will give today's date.
    String dateString = sdf.format(originalDate);
    Date formattedDate = sdf.parse(dateString);

}catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}

        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    //Step2
    SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
    String finalDate = timeFormat.format(myDate); 
    //Step3: Here you will get your Final Date. Set your String now to textview.
       }
}

Answer 6

You can add this code:

Date d = new Date(year, month, day);
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
                "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm");
strDate = dateFormatter.format(d);

after

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

hour = calendar.get( Calendar.HOUR );
minute = calendar.get( Calendar.MINUTE );

So your strDate will be in format you want (MM-dd-yyyy)
