you can try this 

DateFormat date  = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd_hh:mm:ss");
    Log.i("Log", "date is:  "+date.format(new Date()));
    date.format(new Date());

here is the complete solution.where you can get the date and also access it in the form of string.


private final static String getDateTime() {
        DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd_hh:mm:ss");
        Log.i("Log", "date is:  "+df.format(new Date()));
        return df.format(new Date());
    }

Use this: 

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); 
int seconds = c.get(Calendar.SECOND)

You can just use new java.util.Date() and it will contain the actual date. You can also use Calendar.getInstance() or long time = System.currentTimeMillis(); new Date(time);

FYI, getDate() => This method is deprecated. And it returns the day of the month.

You can use:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");  // you can mention any format which you want
String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date());

use this:

long dtMili = System.currentTimeMillis();

String date = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy").format(new java.util.Date(dtMili));
