private void dateformation() {
        SimpleDateFormat dateformate = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy");
        Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();

        String currentDateStr = dateformate.format(currentDate.getTime());
        Log.i("Infoe ", " " + currentDateStr.toString());
        System.out.println("Current date is :  " + currentDateStr);
        // //=== OR

        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy");

        sdf.applyPattern("MMM dd, yyyy");
        Date x = new Date(currentDate.get(Calendar.YEAR) - 1900,
                currentDate.get(Calendar.MONTH),
                currentDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
        Log.i("Infoe ", " " + sdf.format(x));
        System.out.println(sdf.format(x));

    }

    DateFormat f = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, Locale.ENGLISH);
    String dateString = f.format(new Date());

String mydate = java.text.DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

    TextView _dateText=(TextView)_view.findViewById(R.id.dateTextView);
    _dateText.setText(""+mydate);
