I am getting result as 12/1/2012 but I want to display as "Saturday December 1,2012" my code is as below please give me a solution if you have......
Date date = new Date();
myDateString = DateFormat.getDateFormat(getApplicationContext()).format(date).toString();
dateTxt.setText(myDateString);
See this Example
String[] formats = new String[] {
"yyyy-MM-dd",
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm",
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mmZ",
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ",
"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ",
};
for (String format : formats) {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format, Locale.US);
System.err.format("%30s %s\n", format, sdf.format(new Date(0)));
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
System.err.format("%30s %s\n", format, sdf.format(new Date(0)));
}
Which produces this output when run in the PDT time zone:
yyyy-MM-dd 1969-12-31
yyyy-MM-dd 1970-01-01
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm 1969-12-31 16:00
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm 1970-01-01 00:00
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mmZ 1969-12-31 16:00-0800
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mmZ 1970-01-01 00:00+0000
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1969-12-31 16:00:00.000-0800
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000+0000
yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1969-12-31T16:00:00.000-0800
yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000+0000
So use this format:
"EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy" -> "Monday, April 6, 1970"
See these references for complete detail
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Locale;
String Format = "EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy";
Date today = new Date(); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(Format, Locale.ENGLISH); System.err.format("%30s %s\n", Format, sdf.format(today));
This is printing EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy Saturday, December 01, 2012
