Question

I would like to get the date in numbers in Java.

For example: today is 13th of dec, 2012. I would like to get it in numbers as 13.12.2012

How can I achieve it? Any help would be really appreciated.

P.S I tried something like:

Date d = new Date(); 
String date = d.toString().substring(0, 10);

But got the output as:Thu Dec 13

Answer 1

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
String formattedDate = df.format(new Date());
