Answer 1

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

 public class MainClass {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     String pattern = "MM-dd-yyyy";
     SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
   try {
      Date date = format.parse("01-07-2013");
      System.out.println(date);
   } catch (ParseException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println(format.format(new Date()));
 }
}

Hope its helpful.

Try this:

        CharSequence formatted = DateFormat.format("MM/dd/yyyy", mDueDate);
        mDueDateView.setText(formatted);

Answer 3

try this

int year = mDatePicker.getYear();
int month = mDatePicker.getMonth();
int day = mDatePicker.getDayOfMonth();

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(year, month, day);

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

Answer 4

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);
