Calendar.MONTH returns wrong value

I want to get current month from Calendar.

I used two ways: First:

int gcmonth = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MONTH);

Second:

Calendar c = (Calendar)Calendar.getInstance();
int gcmonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);

Both ways returns 2 (March), but I want to get 8 (September - current month).

EDIT: The date on my phone is right! September 12, 2013 23:32 (Kyiv time)

SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("MM", Locale.getDefault());
String currentDate = sdfDate.format(new Date());

This is it. It will return 09. September.

Both of your method totally depends on Device Date

Check your Phone date it will receive date from your device and will give the output 

Calendar c = (Calendar)Calendar.getInstance();
int gcmonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);

this returns 8

this also returns 8

Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MONTH);

There is no issue with your code only it is due to Device date
