Question

Hello I want to display current date. I trying do it like this:

calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current time => "+c.getTime());
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String formattedDate = df.format(c.getTime());
TextView txtView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvDate);
txtView.setText("Current Date and Time : "+formattedDate);

But it don’t display the date in my textView.

Is there a better way to display the same date? I want like this: Monday, April 22

You should look at the documentation for SimpleDateFormat.

SimpleDateFormat

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

should be

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, MMMMM dddd");
