DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDateTime

Use it to obtain a locale-specific date format for the ISO chronology.

Demo:

import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.FormatStyle;
import java.util.Locale;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DateTimeFormatter dtfLocalized = DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDateTime(FormatStyle.SHORT, FormatStyle.SHORT);
        // Test
        LocalDateTime date = LocalDateTime.now();

        System.out.println(dtfLocalized.withLocale(Locale.US).format(date));
        System.out.println(dtfLocalized.withLocale(Locale.UK).format(date));
        System.out.println(dtfLocalized.withLocale(Locale.CHINESE).format(date));
        System.out.println(dtfLocalized.withLocale(Locale.GERMAN).format(date));
        System.out.println(dtfLocalized.withLocale(Locale.forLanguageTag("tr")).format(date));
        System.out.println(dtfLocalized.withLocale(Locale.getDefault()).format(date));
    }
}

Output:

5/8/21, 6:54 PM
08/05/2021, 18:54
2021/5/8 下午6:54
08.05.21, 18:54
8.05.2021 18:54
08/05/2021, 18:54

Note: If you want to format just the date part, replace DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDateTime(FormatStyle.SHORT, FormatStyle.SHORT) with DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.SHORT).

Learn more about the the modern date-time API* from Trail: Date Time.

* For any reason, if you have to stick to Java 6 or Java 7, you can use ThreeTen-Backport which backports most of the java.time functionality to Java 6 & 7. If you are working for an Android project and your Android API level is still not compliant with Java-8, check Java 8+ APIs available through desugaring and How to use ThreeTenABP in Android Project.
