[android help] Android get current date and show it in TextView

I do not know what is wrong with code below - public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); String dt; Date cal = (Date) Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); dt = cal.toLocaleString(); tv.setText(dt.toString()); } Bill the Lizard♦ 109k83296555 asked Oct 17 '12 at 12:47

	TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); SimpleDateFormat dfDate_day= new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"); String dt=""; Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); data=dfDate_day.format(c.getTime()); tv.setText(dt); edited Oct 17 '12 at 12:58 answered Oct 17 '12 at 12:49

	Use long date = System.currentTimeMillis(); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy h:mm a"); String dateString = sdf.format(date); answered Oct 17 '12 at 12:49

Below solution might help - final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); updateDisplay(); private void updateDisplay() { mDateDisplay.setText( new StringBuilder() // Month is 0 based so add 1 .append(mMonth + 1).append("-") .append(mDay).append("-") .append(mYear).append(" ")); } edited Oct 17 '12 at 12:55 answered Oct 17 '12 at 12:50

use this code: tvDisplayDate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvDate); final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); yy = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); mm = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); dd = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); // set current date into textview tvDisplayDate.setText(new StringBuilder() // Month is 0 based, just add 1 .append(yy).append(" ").append("-").append(mm + 1).append("-") .append(dd)); answered Oct 17 '12 at 12:56 SubbaReddy PolamReddy 836313

	SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss"); String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date()); tv.setText(currentDateandTime); this is the way how i do it answered Oct 17 '12 at 12:59

	note*:- import java.text.DateFormat;import java.util.Date;Donot import "import java.sql.Date;" TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); String ct = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(new Date()); tv.setText(ct); answered 5 mins ago
