Question

I am using android.text.format.DateFormat.format("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss", new java.util.Date()) to get time & date. The problem is it isn’t formated in a way that I can use it as part of a filename – I am creating log files, and I need the format of like 20111123_123412 or something that is possible to directly use as part of a file name. How do I get that easily from Android?

THanks

Answer 1

What about this?

android.text.format.DateFormat.format("yyyy_MM_dd_hh_mm_ss", new java.util.Date());

EDIT:

I used Something like,

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss");
Date date = new Date();
String fileName = formatter.format(date);
