Can Android DatePicker date format be modified?

The basic DatePicker at the Android Developers site http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-datepicker.html appears to display in the format 4-26-2012. Can that formatting be changed to 04-26-2012? It appears to display M-d-yyyy but I need it to display MM-dd-yyyy so 01-01-2012 instead of 1-1-2012. Can the basic DatePicker be tweaked like this?

You know you can extract date, month, year, hour, minute and second and pad it and use it in any format you want. Just create a function. That's how I resolved the date issue when working on .NET web service, SQL Server and android.

Hope so you where looking for this only. To override the DatePicker format the best bet would be to override one of its constructors with a slight edit to the original code. You can edit the ViewGroup in code for you but I'd seriously consider not doing it that way.

Refer this Android: How to change the DatePicker view date format from MM/dd/yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy?
