Question

I’m creating an app for the android OS that allows the user to pick a Date. I want to be able to store the date the User picks in a mm/dd/yy form . I know there is a variable type called date. How do i assign the value shown by the picker to the date variable ?

You could use a Time variable :

Time t = new Time();
t.dayOfMonth = dialog.getDayOfMonth();
t.month = dialog.getMonth();
t.year = dialog.getYear();
t.normalize( false );

and then use a simple date formatter or the format method of Time to format it in mm/dd/yy

String s  = t.format( "your pattern" );
