Android Date displaying

I've a problem when displaying the date. I do everything fine, the date shows...bad it's not correct!

It says 2012/07/30 when it should be 2012/08/30.

I've checked my date in the mobile and it's correct. Do you have any idea?

Thank you!!

Piece of code:

 Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
 String sDate = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "/" + c.get(Calendar.MONTH) + "/" +  c.get(Calendar.YEAR);

 view2.setText("" + et.getText()  + sDate );

You can instead use this,

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date())

The Calendar object does not work as you are expecting it. The get(Calendar.MONTH) returns a constant representing the month of the date, not the number of the month. This subtle difference can be seen here: java.util.calendar

As you will see, the constants reflect a zero-based sequence, starting with January, so that you can use the constants as indexers into an array for month-based lookups.

For your purposes, you could get away with adding 1 to the returned int, but you might want to look at SimpleDateFormat in the java.text. This article provides a brief overview to get you started.

Good luck!

why don't you use DateFormat

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
view2.setText(dateFormat.format(c.getTime());
