Is there a way to get the day of month on Android?

I have a Date value and would like to display the day of the month. It seems like the getDays method returns the day of the week.

Is there a way to get the day of the month?

Just use my method if you have unixTime:

public int getDayInt(long unixTime) {
    return Integer.parseInt(DateFormat.format("dd", new Date(unixTime)).toString());
}

or if you have a Date:

public int getDayInt(Date date) {
    return Integer.parseInt(DateFormat.format("dd", date).toString());
}

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(yourDateObj);
int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

OR

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd");
String day = dateFormat.format(yourDateObj);

This is what I did:

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

First of all, according to Android Developers website:

This method (getDay()) is deprecated. use `Calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)`

Regarding your specific question, the Calendar object has a constant named DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH which indicates the ordinal number of the day of the week within the current month.

Calling getDate() on your date object will return the day of the month.
