Answer 1

java.time

The modern way is to use the Android version of the back-port of the java.time framework built into Java 8 and later.

First, parse the input string into a date-time object. The LocalDate class represents a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone.

String input = "25.07.2007";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "MM.dd.yyyy" );
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.parse( input , formatter );

Now you can ask the LocalDate for its values.

int year = localDate.getYear();
int month = localDate.getMonthValue();
int dayOfMonth = localDate.getDayOfMonth();

You can use the handy Month enum to localize the name of the month.

String monthName = localDate.getMonth().getDisplayName( TextStyle.FULL , Locale.CANADA_FRENCH );
