Why SimpleDateFormat in Android does not work?

public static String getDateFormatStr(long time,String formatStr){
    String timeStr=null;
    SimpleDateFormat setDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(formatStr);
    timeStr = setDateFormat.format(time);
    return timeStr;
}

e.g ： HH:mm, E, MMM dd, yyyy

result： 11：30, 5,11 08, 2012

Question: Why is not 11:30,Web,Nov 08,2012,, but 11：30, 5, 11 08, 2012?

As a quick guess, your phone is set to use an unusual Locale. Try specifying a specific Locale when you create your SimpleDateFormat, i.e. new SimpleDateFormat(formatStr, Locale.ENGLISH)

Try to use the Calendar class and this sample: 

Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(); `
SimpleDateFormat month_date = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMMMMMMM");
String month_name = month_date.format(cal.getTime());

Month name will contain the full month name. If you want short month name use this:

SimpleDateFormat month_date = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM");
String month_name = month_date.format(cal.getTime());

I tested your code. its simply working good. check this testing

 public static void main(String[] args) {

    long l = new Date().getTime();
    System.out.println(getDateFormatStr(l,"HH:mm, E, MMM dd, yyyy"));


}

public static String getDateFormatStr(long time,String formatStr){
    String timeStr=null;
    SimpleDateFormat setDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(formatStr);
    timeStr = setDateFormat.format(time);
    return timeStr;
}

Result: 08:49, Mon, Nov 12, 2012
