Get formatted date object from Calendar object

I have this code

String date = "18/06/2014";

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

c.setTime(sdf.parse(date));

c.add(Calendar.DATE, +2);

I'm trying to get formatted date object from calendar object but without any success. Do you have any suggestion?

Date is an object, it doesn't have an inherent textual representation. The SimpleDateFormat class can be used to provide the textual representation you're looking for,

String date = "30/06/2014";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(sdf.parse(date));
c.add(Calendar.DATE, +2);
System.out.println(sdf.format(c.getTime()));

Will output

02/07/2014
