Answer 1

You can add this code:

Date d = new Date(year, month, day);
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
                "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm");
strDate = dateFormatter.format(d);

after

year = calendar.get( Calendar.YEAR );
month = calendar.get( Calendar.MONTH );
day = calendar.get( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH );

hour = calendar.get( Calendar.HOUR );
minute = calendar.get( Calendar.MINUTE );

So your strDate will be in format you want (MM-dd-yyyy)
