Month name as a string

Question

I\'m trying to return the name of the month as a String, for instance \"May\", \"September\", \"November\".

I tried:

int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH         


        

Answer 1

As simple as this

mCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();    
String month = mCalendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.LONG, Locale.getDefault());

Calendar.LONG is to get the full name of the month and Calendar.SHORT gives the name in short. For eg: Calendar.LONG will return January Calendar.SHORT will return Jan
