Here's a human-readable time stamp that may be used in a file name, just in case someone needs the same thing that I needed:

package com.example.xyz;

import android.text.format.Time;

/**
 * Clock utility.
 */
public class Clock {

    /**
     * Get current time in human-readable form.
     * @return current time as a string.
     */
    public static String getNow() {
        Time now = new Time();
        now.setToNow();
        String sTime = now.format("%Y_%m_%d %T");
        return sTime;
    }
    /**
     * Get current time in human-readable form without spaces and special characters.
     * The returned value may be used to compose a file name.
     * @return current time as a string.
     */
    public static String getTimeStamp() {
        Time now = new Time();
        now.setToNow();
        String sTime = now.format("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S");
        return sTime;
    }

}
