How to format date and time in Android?

Question

How to format correctly according to the device configuration date and time when having a year, month, day, hour and minute?

Answer 1

Following this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/Time.html

Is better to use Android native Time class:

Time now = new Time();
now.setToNow();

Then format:

Log.d("DEBUG", "Time "+now.format("%d.%m.%Y %H.%M.%S"));
