public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int yy, int mm, int dd) {
    populateSetDate(yy, mm + 1, dd);
}

public void populateSetDate(int year, int month, int day) {
    String formattedDay = (String.valueOf(day));
    String formattedMonth = (String.valueOf(month));

    if (day < 10) {
        formattedDay = "0" + day;
    }

    if (month < 10) {
        formattedMonth = "0" + month;
    }

    btnDate.setText(formattedDay + "-" + formattedMonth + "-" + year);
}

here i got alternative for accepted answer

private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener datePickerListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
    // when dialog box is closed, below method will be called.
    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int selectedYear, int selectedMonth, int selectedDay) {          
        String dt;
        year = selectedYear;
        month = selectedMonth + 1;
        day = selectedDay;
        try {
            dt = day + "-" + month + "-" + year;

            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"); // Set your date format
            Date currentDt = null;          
            currentDt = sdf.parse(dt);
            String d = sdf.format(currentDt);
            // set selected date into lbl View
            lblDate.setText(d);
        } catch (ParseException e) {

String formattedDay = (String.valueOf(day));
String formattedMonth = (String.valueOf(month));

if(day < 10)
{
    formattedDay = "0" + day;
}

if(month< 10)
{
    formattedMonth = "0" + Month;
}

put this code right before StringBuilder Date; and remove year = selectedYear; month = selectedMonth;
day = selectedDay;

Then pass formattedDay, formattedMonth and year to your StringBuilder.

Hope it works for you.

Try this, you can set the dateformat to whatever you want, check the SimpleDateFormat JavaDoc for examples.

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
String test = dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime());
Log.e("TEST", test);
