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

The only one way on Android to get properly formatted stanalone month name for such languages as ukrainian, russian, czech

private String getMonthName(Calendar calendar, boolean short) {
    int flags = DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_DATE | DateUtils.FORMAT_NO_MONTH_DAY | DateUtils.FORMAT_NO_YEAR;
    if (short) {
        flags |= DateUtils.FORMAT_ABBREV_MONTH;
    }
    return DateUtils.formatDateTime(getContext(), calendar.getTimeInMillis(), flags);
}

Tested on API 15-25

Output for May is Май but not Мая
