Android SimpleDateFormat, how to use it?

Question

I am trying to use the Android SimpleDateFormat like this:

String _Date = \"2010-09-29 08:45:22\"
SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(\"         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me...

@SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat")
private void setTheDate() {
    long msTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Date curDateTime = new Date(msTime);
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM'/'dd'/'y hh:mm");
    curDate = formatter.format(curDateTime);
    mDateText.setText("" + curDate);
}
