java - In android, Is it possible to format a date object to mm-dd-yy? If yes, then how?

I have to display the date in dd-mm-yy format as per the UI design for our Android app. can any one help me, how to achieve it?

Answer

Use SimpleDateFormat:

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy");
Log.i("DATE", sdf.format(new Date()));

You should store your instance of sdf, if you are planning to be formatting your dates repeatedly. Outside a loop, or as a class member variable, for example.
